BIOGRAPHY

Ariel Katzir is an artist who challenges traditional notions of beauty through her work. A graduate with a diploma in fashion and textiles, she uses her art to explore the facets of beauty and celebrate the lines on one’s face that are often underappreciated.

Katzir has established herself in the art world with her unique style, using a mixture of ink and acrylic on canvas to express herself fully. Her current work is characterized by uniform lines and geometric shapes, with dark ink juxtaposed against vibrant acrylics to create balance and harmony. While portraiture and the human form are central to her exploration, her thematic play with these elements continues to evolve.

To further her artistic development, Ariel completed a diploma in transpersonal art therapy, which she incorporates into her practice. She finds her art therapy to be rewarding both personally and for those she works with. Katzir embraces her diverse experiences and integrates them into her creativity. The colour blue is prevalent in her work, not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its healing attributes, symbolizing strength and resilience.

Currently, Katzir is engaged in a range of activities, including running workshops, collaborating with other artists, painting murals, performing live art shows, and working in her studio on both canvas and with her sewing machine. She continues to expand her creative network and views art as a catalyst for social change, using her work as both an example and a muse.
