About the work
Shnaiderman’s work is rooted in classical technique and shaped by years of solitary practice. Her paintings are quiet responses to the world, moments of stillness and presence.
This painting traces back to a photograph of a monk, encountered during a journey in the Far East. The search was not only for a man, but for a gesture of protection, a figure who could craft an amulet to hold a wish. After days of wandering, they found him.
The painting itself unfolds in delicate layers and subtle translucencies, where form and presence seem to hover between the earthly and the spiritual.
