ABOUT RAMON KUBICEK

 
 

Educated in Montreal at Concordia, where he studied art, creative writing, literature, and film, Ramon spent a year after graduation traveling through North Africa and Europe, and then decided to continue art studies in England where he also worked in children’s theatre, gave wine tastings, and studied Gothic cathedrals, in particular their relationship to the landscape. He also studied ancient story-telling traditions of different cultures, Byzantine mosaics, and Sufism.

Returning to Canada after almost six years, Ramon moved to the West Coast and fell in love with the mountains and the sea and how it was possible to walk through forests uninhabited by human beings. He worked in a variety of media, including writing and performance, and taught full-time at the post-secondary level, including Emily Carr University and Langara College. In 1994, he received a Rockefeller FlowFund award for work on art and in particular, healing art with water. He was also co-author of a book on contemporary transformative art, One Source: Sacred Journeys  (Markowitz Publishing, 1997).  He makes art full time, and now splits his time between the Sunshine Coast B.C., and Montreal, PQ.
