Lives & works in London

Gal Schindler’s figures, which seem to dance in oceans of color, are both alluring and unsettling, evoking a sense of mystery and intrigue. Through her paintings, Gal Schindler invites us to explore the deep spaces within ourselves and our relationship to the world around us, offering a unique perspective on the mysteries of the human experience:

“Searching and discovering these characters allow me to live a life through painting – they can hold an emotional space that exists in me that I may not always able to express in real life or in words. Through them I can transcend my own reality and move into an intangible connection that is able to dial into frequencies of the unknown and the inexplicable.”


Gal Schindler is interested in the ocean, an alternative world that gathers unknown species and places that have never been reached by mankind. The ocean functions for her as a symbolic space for new possibilities, a realm that can hold contradictions and that relates to nature, a privileged place for the in-between, the infinite and the feminine.

Swimming in delicate ovals of colors, the shells of her latest paintings also carry apparent contradictions: both internal and external to themselves, functional and decorative, dead but yet carrying the memory of life - just as paintings. Meticulously painted, in a state she qualifies as meditative, they are also markers of time - they tick off the seconds, the hours, the months - and resonate with the living and the dead, presence and absence.

Les figures de Gal Schindler, qui semblent danser dans des ocĂ©ans de couleurs, sont Ă  la fois sĂ©duisantes et troublantes, Ă©voquent un sentiment de mystĂšre et d'intrigue. À travers ses peintures, Gal Schindler nous invite Ă  explorer les profondeurs de nos espaces intĂ©rieurs et notre relation au monde qui nous entoure, offrant une perspective unique sur les mystĂšres de la condition humaine :

« La recherche et la dĂ©couverte de ces personnages me permettent de vivre une vie Ă  travers la peinture - ils peuvent contenir un Ă©tat Ă©motionnel qui existe en moi et que je ne suis pas toujours capable d'exprimer avec des mots. À travers eux, je peux transcender ma propre rĂ©alitĂ© et entrer dans une connexion intangible capable de composer avec les frĂ©quences de l'inconnu et de l'inexplicable ».

Les coquillages peints des Ɠuvres rĂ©centes de Gal Schindler se trouvent dans le mĂȘme entre-deux que ses personnages. Pour elle, l’ocĂ©an se prĂ©sente comme un monde alternatif, en ce qu’il rassemble des espĂšces inconnues et des lieux qui n'ont jamais Ă©tĂ© atteints par l'homme. Il est Ă  cet Ă©gard un espace symbolique pour les possibles, un lieu privilĂ©giĂ© pour l’indistinction, l’infini et le fĂ©minin.

Flottant dans de dĂ©licats ovales de couleurs, les coquillages de ses derniĂšres peintures portent aussi d’apparentes contradictions : Ă  la fois internes et externes Ă  eux-mĂȘmes, fonctionnels et dĂ©coratifs, morts et pourtant porteurs de la mĂ©moire de la vie - tout comme un tableau. Peints mĂ©ticuleusement et avec soin, dans un Ă©tat qu’elle qualifie de mĂ©ditatif - ils Ă©grĂšnent les secondes, les heures, les mois - et rĂ©sonnent avec les vivants et les morts, la prĂ©sence et l'absence.
