Dina Shubin And Her Artworks

By Kristen Baird


It takes some kind of unique quality to draw collectors to the work of a particular artist. Dina Shubin has this unique appeal. Her paintings consist of a blend of realism and abstraction that lift them beyond the ordinary. Her women convey tranquility and serenity but at the same time they are goddess-like and powerful.

Dina was born in Moscow and studied art at the Moscow Teachers Training Institute before emigrating to Canada. She is married to fellow artist Peter Panov. They have very different styles but are both extremely talented. Peter enjoys creating everyday life scenes and unforgettable characters. Both of these artists have exhibited their paintings in many large cities.

The elongated figures as well as the abstract backgrounds contrasted with soft flesh and realistic elements all carry echoes of great artists. Modigliani was well known for his elongated figures. Giotto painted faces in a similar way and Klimt was known for the way he contrasted abstract backgrounds with real flesh. However, these techniques of other great artists are combined in a unique style. It is contemporary and yet somehow reminiscent of ancient icons.

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 word that comes to mind when looking at her paintings. Flowers are found in many paintings, some prominently featured in large vases and others in simple arrangements, with a petal perhaps being lightly touched by a finger. Musical instruments also abound, some lying alongside women and others being played by them.

The women are painted in static poses and may even have their arms folded and yet they still manage to convey power at the same time. A woman sits on a window seat resting her arms on her knees. She is completely still and yet powerful and serene. Another woman in a rowing boat dips her hand into the water and in this scene of perfect tranquility yet the woman still conveys a goddess like quality.

The artist favors deep rich colors like reds and rusts for her abstract backgrounds. Against these tones, the quality of the flesh is tender and soft. The flowers like the lilies and tulips as well as the musical instruments like cellos, harps and flutes are painted realistically and this realism is also enhanced by the way they appear against the rich, dark abstract background colors.

Art lovers are always excited when this artist adds new paintings to her portfolio. Her paintings are available from a number of online galleries today. Shopping online for such a painting gives one the option of the browsing through many paintings before making a selection. Buying one of these paintings is an investment and this fact is recognized by many collectors today.
