About Ariel:

Ariel Liu explores the boundaries between strength and surrender through two distinct yet interconnected series of paintings for “holding on and letting go”. Her oil paintings capture the raw facial expressions of physical exertion, while her acrylic landscapes reimagine the human form as natural terrain. Through both bodies of work, Liu investigates moments of intensity and release, informed by her unique perspective as both a fitness instructor and Buddhist meditation practitioner.

Ariel holds a B.S. from Carnegie Mellon University with a minor in Art and continues to expand her artistic practice through ongoing studies. Since transitioning to art in 2024 and completing the Paper Moon Artist Residency, her work has been featured in several San Francisco exhibitions, including Gallery-o-Rama's Unbound Vessels and Madrone Art Bar. Through her swift, decisive brushwork, Liu creates works that challenge viewers to reconsider the relationship between effort and surrender, holding on and letting go.
