Musician and visual Artist

What Musician and visual Artist does

Ilan Scheindling is a German-based musician and visual artist operating as a sole proprietor from Gersthofen, near Augsburg. Born in 1956 in Haifa/Israel and resident in Germany since 1961, he has built a dual practice spanning piano performance and teaching, music composition, and visual art over more than four decades. He studied piano at the Augsburg Conservatory (1977–1981) and Germanistics/Art History at the University of Augsburg (1981–1985), with subsequent advanced training under Prof. Gottfried Hefele, Prof. Sascha Konstantinova, Prof. Peter Feuchtwanger, and visual arts mentorship from Prof. Hans Baschang, Prof. Oskar Koller, and Xenia Hausner.

The artist generates revenue through three streams: original artwork sales via gallery representation and direct exhibition sales; piano instruction at his personal studio and at Gymnasium St. Stephan Augsburg (a relationship held continuously since 1981); and music compositions for chamber music, piano, and theater productions, available as digital audio downloads and commissioned works. His teaching methodology incorporates neurobiology research on brain function and perception. The business has no employees, no funding, and no technology platform; distribution is primarily regional (Bavaria) with selective international exhibition presence in Switzerland, Italy, Czech Republic, Austria, and Germany.

Customer relationships span multiple regional galleries (Max-Galerie, Artothek Augsburg, Ecke Galerie, Galerie Süßkind), public institutions (Stadt Gersthofen, Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen, Jüdisches Kultur Museum Augsburg), and a portfolio of individual piano students. The artist is a member of Berufsverband bildender Künstler (BBK) and Künstlervereinigung 'Ecke', has received the Ecke-Kunstpreis (2003), and has participated in approximately 30 editions of the Große Schwäbische Kunstausstellung.
