Studying the ways of expression, movements and motions of the human being.She worked as a clown in hospitals, in a black and Light theatre, as performer in different own creations, as singer in cabaret shows and with the internationally renowned clown Jango Edwards.Since 2008 she decided to focus entirely on painting, integrating the experiences acquired in other artistic disciplines to it.

Pati Dubois art is an investigation of the human soul, a search to visualize the conflict between inner perception and the surrounding world.The human figure is deconstructed and regrouped around leading lines, paste into repetitive patterns or broken apart by exploding and dripping colour.
