"The Beauty of Everyday Things". Personal Art Exhibition. Igor Dubovoy.
People & Paintings Gallery
We all share the gift of being born on this remarkable planet. Its landscapes, fleeting moments, and simple details remind us that beauty is everywhere . We only need to look a little closer. This exhibition celebrates the preciousness of life and the harmony found in nature’s quiet perfection. It is a call for peace and mindfulness, encouraging us to slow down, live with awareness, and embrace the beauty that can bring balance to a world in turmoil. Igor Dubovoy approaches his work with a contemplative sensitivity to the world around him. Through careful observation and a refined visual language, he captures moments of stillness and subtle emotion, transforming ordinary scenes into spaces for reflection. His art invites the viewer into a quiet dialogue with nature and the self, where simplicity becomes a source of depth, meaning, and calm.
Caring for Nature is Caring for Ourselves
People & Paintings Gallery
In the current context of environmental crisis, global conflicts, and the effects of climate change, we need a new way of relating to nature, to the planet we inhabit, and to each other as humanity. Nature and its resources are not infinite, yet our global economy acts as if they were. The crises we face stem from the way we relate to nature, as we fail to understand that its ecosystems cannot be overexploited due to their roles in climate regulation and the self-regulation of various processes. Ecosystems are interconnected and enable the stabilization of the climate, biogeochemical cycles, and biodiversity. From clouds to algae, every element plays a part in these processes. There are planetary boundaries we must respect to ensure our survival. Therefore, it is essential to care for nature, respect it, and understand that we are part of it. Recognizing and honoring its vast biodiversity is also the first step toward a more harmonious humanity. Money is worthless if we do not have a planet in good condition to enjoy and if we fail to foster good relations among our peoples. “Nature does not belong to us; we belong to it.”

Eyes: a passage to the inner world
People & Paintings Gallery
Some people say that human eyes are an open door to the soul or “the windows to the soul”. Well, eyes are a beautiful “instrument“ which defines the human face, with a specific shape, not very simple, but not very complicated to draw, if the artist understand the geometrical shapes and the anatomy. Eyes are maybe the most important feature of any portrait, in pictures, paintings, drawings, art in general and of course in a face to face connection. All the light provided by the world is captured by eyes and everything around us is somehow rendered by them in colors and information sent to the brain. In Bible says “your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy, your body also is full of darkness.” Our world is governed by light and darkness and “eyes“ with “ears“ are the “instruments“ that helps us to see and hear, but in the way we choose; the light within will reflect through eyes the soul of a person, because every detail that was captured by them will build in time what we are, let’s call it our personality, our image, our authenticity. Eyes can reveal the light and clarity, to madness and tragedy. This art exhibition is open to everyone and every art technique from drawing, painting to photography and more personal innovative medium. The central focus must be on eye shape, the look, the emotional touch, represented in a portrait or a composition. Every idea is welcome from a realistic approach to an abstract concept. We can communicate with our body language, but eyes are always the wow element that can describe the most powerful emotion. Good luck to everyone! I can’t wait to see your artworks!

Moon
People & Paintings Gallery
What does Moon mean to you? When to find moon in the night sky, you might feel so happy and your heart pounds with joy as to find a treasure in a box. Moon makes our heart so warm and relaxing. Moon is always watching us whether brightly and visibly, or quietly from behind the clouds, no matter where we are. Moon is like a mother who is always caring her children. I believe we human and all creatures are protected by Moon. In this painting, I express my nostalgia with an autumn harvests (Japanese large chrysanthemums, Japanese silver grasses), nature (Moon, Mt. Iwaki in my hometown Aomori prefecture) and creatures (Dragon flies, a cat), which are shined by Moon. A cat looks up Moon, nostalgically thinking of her hometown in autumn. Submit your artwork related to your feeling, story or your thoughts over the moon. Describe what you mean by that to the viewers. I expect your work touches to the viewers who feel a heartwarming moment by your artwork.
