About Aleksandr Dubrovskyy

8Awards59Shows

Mr Aleksandr Dubrovskyy was born in 1949 in Oryneno, Khmelnytsky Oblast, Ukraine.
He started painting early. The painting was his most favoured occupation, beyond all usual boyish interests and activities.
At 7 years he was admitted to the art school for children in Yenakiieve; at 16, Aleksandr entered Kharkiv College of Art (1965).

In 1969, graduating from the College of Art, he travels a lot and works assiduously on portrait and landscape painting.
His continuing work at the academic villa in Sednyov offered Aleksandr a happy and unique opportunity to work together with, and learn from, such eminent painters as Konstantyn Lomykin, Fedor Zakharov, Nikolay Glushchenko, Viktor Shatalin, and Tatyana Yablonskaya. They have profoundly influenced his artistic formation. Sednyov... this marvellous nook of Ukraine became the artist’s creative workshop.

About this Artwork

The Spirit of the River

I returned to this river over several days, and each time it seemed to have changed. The trees and banks remained familiar, but the water never repeated itself. Different light brought new colours: deep greens gave way to blue, violet and warm golden reflections, while the current broke them into moving fragments around stones and small grassy islands.

That constant transformation became the real subject of the painting. I wanted to capture a summer river landscape that feels recognizable at first, yet becomes almost abstract when you begin to look closely at the water.

The title The Spirit of the River came naturally. For me, the spirit is not something hidden beneath the surface. It is the river's ability to change from one moment to the next, making a familiar place feel new every time you return.
