The Works Of Dina Shubin

By Rhea Frazier


There are few female painters who present the female form in an attractive and intriguing manner. Dina Shubin is one of the most exceptional artists of her time with her extremely visual paintings of women engaged in dance or playing some type of musical instrument. Her figures are well known for their elongated bodies and the calm and dreamy expressions they wear on their delicate faces.

Shubin graduated from a Moscow teacher's training school in 1990 and nine years later she moved to Canada. Since then her works have been shown all over the world. She has a very distinct style which is easily recognizable once individuals become familiar with her infamous paintings.

If you would like to own a picture that depicts strong, talented women, then a Shubin is your best choice. The works show women at their best or most relaxed. The print "Dreamy Day" is of a young woman on a window seat with a far-off pensive look on her face. She looks calm and peaceful in her comfortable surroundings and could be thinking about any number of pleasant thoughts. "Sharing a Secret" is a work depicting two friends exchanging confidences with one figure whispering in the other woman's ear. They seem happy and genuinely fond of each other and this representation of friendship is something we would all like to achieve.

Her main theme does seem to be that of women and music and sometimes just music by itself. "Violin" appears as an abstract painting with a violin as the focal point. "Flute Queen" shows an attractive young woman intent on playing the instrument. "Girl in Blue' leaves us guessing with her face turned from us but we just know she is concentrating on getting just the right note.

Other works by this famous artist include abstracts. These abstracts consist of sharp edges and bursts of color along with infusions of light among squares, rectangles and triangles. They include such paintings as "Abstract Composition, " Composition N1, " "Composition N2, " and "Play of Light."

This painter also seems to love flowers. Her many stunning paintings that are of beautiful blooms include such works as "Red Bouquet, " "Tall Vase, " "White Bouquet, " and "Sunny Day, " plus several more like these. The vases and the blooms they display create a delicate but realistic vision of floral arrangements. A sun room or bedroom would definitely be brightened by the addition of one or more of these to the walls.

She is a woman of many talents as she also works with still life paintings. She seems drawn to the smooth and flat curves of bottles as many of her works depict just that. Some of these include "Bottles on the Table, " "Fancy Bottles, " and "Fancy Bottles in the Light."

If you are planning on adding unique art work to your collection or just need to fill space on your walls, these canvases and posters would provide interesting and thought-provoking focal points in a room. Her newer works continue her ongoing theme of calm, peace and romance as in the painting "In Reflection, " where a young girl languidly leans on the edge of a boat staring at her reflection in the water. Other new works also continue to feature beautiful women with musical instruments as in "In a Blue Light" and "Cello."
