Originally from Central Europe, Luba is a visual artist and photographer.

Luba was the youngest student in her art school in the Czech Republic—and the 4th best student out of 300 in her class, in fact. She studied fine arts, photography, sculpture, glass and wood work, and interior and exhibit design. She went on to a promising career in classical film animation in the renowned Studio Prometheus, a satellite of Krátky Film Studios. But the political situation in her country became untenable, and she was forced to emigrate to the U.S. with her young family. She re-established herself here, lending her talents to television, exhibit and graphic design.

With her second career firmly in the rear view mirror, Luba is returning to her roots as a painter and artist.

Can you tell which of the images in the filmstrip above are Luba’s, and which are Aria Luna’s? Can you see the undercurrents that run through both artists?
