About Aleksandr Dubrovskyy

8Awards59Exhibitions

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

After graduating from the College of Art in 1969, he travelled widely and worked 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 Melancholic Three-Chord Chanson

A young woman plays a blue guitar surrounded by a richly coloured autumn forest. Golden, crimson, orange and pink leaves fill the composition, while slender birch trees rise behind her. Her figure seems to merge with the surrounding foliage, as though the music itself has become part of the landscape.

This painting belongs to my series of symbolic works, where familiar images carry meanings beyond what is immediately visible.

The simple three-chord chanson represents the power of music to awaken memories. A familiar melody can bring back moments of happiness, people and experiences that belong to the past. Yet the song continues, just as life moves forward.

The falling autumn leaves become a symbol of passing time. Their movement echoes the rhythm of the guitar, while the bright blue instrument stands out against the warm colours of the forest.

For me, the girl represents a moment between memory and anticipation. The melody is melancholic, but the painting is not about sadness alone. It brings together nostalgia, joy and the quiet hope of something beautiful still to come.

Richly textured brushwork and vibrant colour give this symbolic composition its expressive character.

"The Melancholic Three-Chord Chanson" offers collectors an original figurative painting in which music, nature and personal memories become part of one visual story.
