Women with elongated, irregular bodies and serene facial expressions are the trademark of a well known Russian artist. Dina Shubin originally hails from Moscow where she attended the Art Faculty of Moscow Teachers Training Institute. In 1990 she graduated and later emigrated to Canada where she continued to pursue her art career. Her art has been exhibited in many different countries around the world from Tokyo to New York. Many private collectors have also purchased her work. Today it is possible to purchase her paintings from online galleries today.
These women are elongated in a way that is reminiscent of Modigliani and this gives them an almost other-worldly appearance. Her backgrounds are abstract, contrasting with the real flesh tones of the women and this reminds one of Klimt. The way the women are posed cannot help reminding one of ancient icons. However, despite obvious influences from other great artists, the way she combines all these elements is all her own.
She has her own distinctive style but the women in her paintings have certain aspects that are reminiscent of some great artists. Like Klimt, she combines abstract backgrounds with real flesh. The elongated proportions of figures cannot help but remind one of Modigliani and her faces reflect something of the style of Giotto. The nature of the poses bears some resemblance to ancient icons.
It is the changed proportions of the women that give them unearthly appeal. They are like muses or spirits, evoking serenity and inner power. Beautiful veils are included in some of the paintings and the fabric of the dresses is exquisitely delicate, sometimes contrasting with the abstract background and at other times blending in with it. In one painting the dress and background blend seamlessly together and yet they are distinctive too, showing great technique.
The abstract backgrounds against which her women are posed are richly colored and textured. They contrast with the flesh tones and smooth, long hair. The dresses the women wear are delicate and also contrast with the rougher background. In one painting, however, the dress worn by the woman is painted in the same way as the background, drawing attention instead to the light face and hair. In this painting, a realistically painted violin sits at her feet, also drawing the eye.
Beautiful vases of flowers are often painted realistically and these also stand out against the abstract backgrounds. Women touch white lilies or gaze at vases of tulips. Many of the elements surrounding the women in the paintings are those which delight the senses. One can almost smell the fragrance of flowers and hear musical notes in the air.
Her works reflect a tranquility and romanticism. One piece that has an air of great tranquility is a painting of a girl leaning on the edge of a rowing boat and dangling her hand in the water. Another one shows a young woman sitting on a window seat and resting her arms on her knees. She has a pensive, reflective expression on her face and this expression is seen on the faces of many of her women.
This artist has ardent admirers from all over the world. She is constantly creating new paintings and these are available from online galleries. Her seamless contrasting of abstraction and realism as well as the way she portrays the divinity of women is part of what make her distinctive style so appealing.
