Taylor Kubicek | Contemporary Realist Oil Painter
Taylor Kubicek is an accomplished artist based in southwest Missouri who works primarily in oil paints. His practice is rooted in contemporary realism, with a focus on capturing the quiet symbolism and emotional nuance found in everyday objects, figures, and ideas. Taylor’s work invites contemplation, using subtle detail and atmosphere to draw viewers into deeper narratives beneath the surface.

Classes progress week by week, offering a structured yet flexible environment where students can develop their technique, learn the principles of composition and color theory, and explore their personal style. Taylor’s teaching style emphasizes observation, intentional mark-making, and creative exploration.
