An artist who paints women in a distinctive fashion has found her niche in the art world. Dina Shubin is a versatile artist but it is the way in which she paints her women that has captured the imagination of private collectors. One of the most appealing aspects of her paintings lies in how she manages to express inner power and tranquility at the same time as well as the way in which she plays with abstraction and realism.
This artist grew up in Moscow and graduated from the Moscow Teachers Training Institute in 1990, emigrating to Canada nine years later. Her husband, Peter Panov, is another well known artist. Dina has taken part in a number of art expos in large cities over the years. Today, there are art lovers all over the world who have her paintings in their collections.
One cannot help thinking of ancient icons when looking at her paintings and the poses of these women help to convey this impression. The fact that Dina studied art is reflected in her work as she adopts some techniques used by famous artists like Giotto, Modigliani and Klimt. However, she uses these in a distinctive way that is all her own. Her women have elongated figures and faces and although they are posed against abstract backgrounds, their flesh is painted very realistically.
With the contrast between the abstract and realism, the imagination of the viewer is stretched. The flesh is painted in a very realistic way and yet the elongation of the figures and faces and abstraction of the background gives the paintings a mythical, fairy tale quality. Serenity and power, the real and the abstract manage to co-exist together effortlessly in unusual combinations and juxtapositions.
Romanticism is another element of these works. The flowers, musical instruments and the fabrics of dresses and veils are all elements that are realistically painted. These elements surrounding the goddess-like women appeal to all the senses. One can almost smell the aromas, hear the notes in the air and feel the delicacy of the fabrics.
The women are all posed in different ways. One leans over the edge of a boat trailing her hand in the water. Another stands with arms folded. Even a woman seated on a window seat with arms resting on knees or one leaning over a staircase banister still give an impression of power although they are in repose. These women may be tranquil and relaxed and yet one never loses the impression of their other-worldliness either. Their divinity is evident and this impression is sometimes enhanced by the addition of a beautiful veil.
Many of her abstract backgrounds are painted in deep, rust colored reds, oranges and browns. The soft, flesh tones of the women stand out against these deep, rich, almost rough tones. The clarity and realistic nature of the vases of flowers and the musical instruments is also enhanced against these rich backgrounds. Delicate veils are another feature of some paintings.
The paintings of this versatile artist are available from a number of online galleries today. They are appreciated by art lovers worldwide who continue to purchase her works for their private collections. When purchasing from an online gallery, it is a simple matter of browsing through images of the available paintings, selecting one that appeals and then placing an order.
