Art and aesthetic sense

Dziubek since his childhood has been into the art. He devoted his attention to painting and all kinds of performing that deal with the current problems. He attracted public attention by his unconventional methods and techniques. "... I do deform a reality to not to pick in the beauty. The art must transmit, hand down something. In a paiting simplicity has to dominate not the artistry. It applies also to the music. There is a sound on a canvas, too. Sometimes one may put the rythm on a painting to convey messages. That is the direction I chose for now."
