Red Onion Study
A single red onion rests against broad fields of muted green, gray, and pale blue, its rounded form grounded by a deep cast shadow. Loose oil brushwork on paper softens the contours while small highlights give the skin a quiet sheen. The restrained palette and intimate composition create a calm, contemplative still life suited to a kitchen, dining area, or study.
Ariel Schneier
Ariel Schneier (b. 1980) is an Israeli artist working in painting and drawing. He began his artistic journey in early childhood, intuitively engaging in drawing with pencils and pens. During his teenage years, he further developed his skills through a high school graphics program and an open studio course in drawing and painting from the nude model. At the age of 24, he studied under Israel Hershberg at the J.S.S. School of Art in Jerusalem and participated in summer art courses in Italy, where he was awarded first place in an art competition held in the city of Sulmona. Approximately a decade later, he was awarded a scholarship to study at the HaTahana School, directed by Aram Gershuni and David Nipo. Today, Ariel’s work focuses primarily on observing everyday spaces and exploring the encounter between the urban environment and nature — houses, trees, vegetation, and the spaces surrounding them. His creative process is rooted in observation, in the search for quiet and simple moments, and in a desire to express a sense of place, atmosphere, and feeling through a restrained use of means.
