Pati Dubiel has always been interested in drawing, color and form. She has developed her own technique for "enclosing" an image, a kind of story, in glass. Dubiel, using the whole range of available possibilities for glass processing, has created her own, very individual and recognizable style, which cannot be confused with any other. In her work, the artist is guided by intuition, while trying to show her world.Pati sculptures-light in form-turn out to be strong in content. Painting, drawing and sculpture always go hand in hand here, complementing and continuing the guiding idea.In a slightly exaggerated version, Dubiel's works illustrate the world of the 21st century, which is the modern Tower of Babel.The artist often refers to the cultural melting pot in which we live today, the social turmoil and problems of civilization - the issues of integration, tolerance, understanding, as well as the eroticization of society. She is most inspired by man, his sensuality and emotions, which translate into his functioning and behavior. The rich narrative characterizing Pati Dubiel's sculptures is accompanied by great attention to detail. The artist does not shy away from the use of equipment such as airbrush, silk-screen, waterjet in her work - no less, she believes that true art should "contain" in itself "as much as possible of the artist himself", his sensitivity, spirit and creative action. Dubiel's works are inspired by what surrounds her - both nature and man himself with a whole range of emotions and feelings.The creation of Pati Dubiel's glass sculptures is, as she herself says, like building a house - she starts with the foundations, the base, the general outline of the work and ends with refining the details of the composition. The details and finishing touches complete and add to the whole. Using a variety of techniques, she achieves the desired effect - she shows the beauty and possibilities of glass and includes in it a story, which she wants to convey to the recipientThe work of Pati Dubiel escapes the usual schemes, which makes her objects like a Trojan horse - they begin to hide more than what is visible at first glance!

The artist creates ink drawings on paper and creates in glass and often mixes directions, i.e. incorporates the drawing and encloses it in glass.
