Aleksey Dubinsky
Aleksey Dubinsky (b. 1985, Grozny) is a visual artist based in Tbilisi whose work transforms everyday life into realms of magical realism. He studied at the Nizhny Novgorod Art College (2001–2005) in Design of the Architectural Environment and graduated in 2011 from the Russian Academy of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture of Ilya Glazunov, where he trained in historical and religious painting. That year, he won the Martini Art Weekend, earning a study trip to Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design in London.
Dubinsky works across painting, drawing, sculpture, and research-based projects, collecting sketches, photographs, recordings, and fragments of text or melody to recombine into new narratives. Often described as “everyday surrealism” or “magical realism”, his art emphasizes the extraordinary in ordinary life. Memory, its transformation, and selective reconstruction are central to his practice, exploring dualities of joy and sadness, past and present, life and death. Through his work, Dubinsky reveals the quiet magic and hidden significance of everyday moments.
