LUBOMIR is an artist and storyteller.
His personal work explores the psychological, parapolitical, and spiritual dynamics that define the momentous time of transition we are collectively navigating.
In 2017 he released his first award-winning animated film, “IN-SHADOW: A Modern Odyssey”, exploring the fragmented unconscious of our times — followed by the 2024 release of “KINGDOM”, a visceral audio-visual experience which maps out the initiatory path of empowerment.
Professionally, he has worked in various phases of production and IP development for both major and boutique animation studios, on a variety of film and TV projects, for clients like – Netflix, Warner Brothers, Blue Sky, Mattel, Disney, House of Cool, among others. His latest projects include directing the re-imagined “He-Man and The Masters of The Universe”, and writing and directing the dystopian sci-fi short “The Forest King” as part of the Red Iron Road series.
Lubomir is known for a kinetic visual style that weaves an eclectic aesthetic with mainstream appeal, and excels in crafting narratives that condense complex ideas into accessible and entertaining experiences. His artistic mission is to convey with clarity and reverence the sacred depth of the inner-self, and reveal the forces which seek to thwart it.
“Art is medicine. A story is a transformational experience.”
“As the shamanic archetype continues to awaken in the psyche of those who hear its call, it also stirs inside the artist.”
The artist who accepts the mission of aiding in the collective soul retrieval, must look deep within and explore the landscape of the personal and transpersonal self. Clearing the inner lens of mis-perception, honoring the muse and honing one's tool of expression, one's craft.
By visiting forbidden and forgotten worlds, those of sorrow and triumph, worlds of glory and corruption, of the ancestral and celestial realms – the artist liberates and masters the forces that have hitherto exerted their influence from behind the veil.
In a time when the creeping automation of consciousness makes its assault on all that is beautiful, the artist can choose to offer a generative vision born of hard earned experience.
The artist as shaman shears through the crust of artifice, and offers ideas, perceptions, and definitions, which renew our approach to each other and to life itself.
From that place beyond imposed thought-forms and inherited cultural definitions, the shamanic artist dives deep to meet the pre-verbal, to wrestle with demons and dance with angels, to be guided by the muses.
To rescue the treasure captured by the weeds of the personal and collective unconscious – and bring it back as a gift, as an offering to the Earth tribe that finds itself in dire need of a redeeming vision.
The reward for this adventure is not the empty validation of the unconscious masses, or the relics of fake prestige and material rags offered by Empire. The reward is the invigorating transformation of the Self into a vessel of the ALL.
The shamanic artist dances with the light and dark, and from them weaves insights in a language that contributes to the evolution of the culture.
We honour all creation when we dance with its mystery and aid in the harmonizing of its many dissonant facets. It's within our heart, within the altar of our being that we alchemize the fragments of a dying culture, and offer the vision of the New.
