Background
Helen Dubrovich born in Germany of Russian parents migrated to Australia when she was three. Although Helen started learning various techniques from her first art teacher, a Russian artist, when she was around twelve years of age, and later went to art school in Sydney. Helen took up photography as a hobby, and fell in love with the medium, choosing to work in the industry.
After working for some years as a photographer, Helen and her husband travelled extensively throughout Europe. Later Helen and her family also started travelling to Japan, which further exposed Helen to different types of art apart from the artworks of Europe. This had a strong influence on Helen’s later artworks as she has enjoyed painting various subjects feeling that her works are eclectic as are her tastes in other areas of her life. Helen continues to paint and travel and works in watercolour, acrylic, oil and pastel and is always happy to paint commissions.
Having always loved to travel the world over the years, I have often found wonderful souvenirs to remind me of the places I have visited. In this case I have used a vase that I found in China travelling around Shanghai, a sake bottle found somewhere in Tokyo, a tea cup and a lovely plate found in the back streets of Hoi An in Vietnam.
