Madeleine Duba

“My works are driven by spontaneous energy, playfulness, always finding a beauty within. I am passionate about raising public awareness of human stories and undertaking critical reflection on social development. My art aims to view the world through different lenses. Through my creative approach I let people share their soul with the world. My works are full of action and felt movement and want to tell stories of emotions without words.

To add something on a more private note, I was born and raised in Switzerland with Czech parents. My father Cenek Duba was an award-winning well known Czech film director from the golden 1950's /1960's aera of world known Czech filmmaking like Milos Forman, Jiri Menzel etc.

I completed my highest artschool degree at the Royal College of Art London with a Master of Art. I would describe myself as an international person, with life stages in Switzerland, Czech Republic, Nepal, Cuba and London where I'm living now.
