Born in 1958 in Magdeburg, East Germany, and raised in Soviet Latvia, Sasha Ginsburg began painting at an early age. He received rigorous classical training under Latvian masters Kurt Fridrihsons, Abram Bikov, and Vitaly Karkunov, and studied at the Art Academy of Latvia (1977 – 1983). He debuted publicly in 1980 and went on to exhibit across the Soviet Union.
In 1991 he immigrated to Osnabrück, Germany. This cultural and geopolitical transition, together with a personal return to his Jewish roots and heritage, became a turning point, bringing existential, spiritual, and philosophical dimensions to his work.

Ginsburg bridges traditional painting with textured, mixed-media surfaces and surrealist undertones. His mosaic-like compositions, often using metallic pigments and luminous undertones, fracture faces, cities, and light into crystalline cells of color. In series including Reflexions, Psifas, and The XII, he explores the thin line between structured order and expressive abstraction.

His solo exhibitions include Munich, Strasbourg (Agora of the Council of Europe), Riga, Jerusalem, Toronto, and Houston. His work is on permanent display at EJKA, Munich, and held in private collections in Europe, North America, and Israel.
