In 2006 he was awarded the "Yakir Ha'ir" award for his public activities. Gideon Shani began painting for the first time in 2004. He acquired his training in painting, printing and sculpture at the Center for Visual Arts at the Kaye Academic College of Education in Be'er Sheva and graduated as a senior art instructor in 2012. In 2012, he was elected Chairman of the Israel Painters and Sculptors Association, Beer Sheva and Negev. Since his first military service, when he first became familiar with the desert landscape, he has become his physical, mental and emotional life environment, and his encounter with the landscape is a meeting of belonging and commitment, not of an outside observer. Who have wandered here thousands of years ago, belong to the residents of the desert, belong to the residents who live here today and belong to the pure and primal beauty of the Negev. Artist Gideon Shani paints mainly oil paints and realistic style. He goes out into the wilderness, pinning his portable easel on sandy ground and admiring the pure, primal landscape. From the great crater with its cosmic colors and shapes to the landscapes of Sodom. From the concrete towers of the city to the meager and temporary pits of the Bedouin population scattered in the 'hills of fate' around Beersheba. He begins to paint his impressions and experiences. Sometimes a mysterious figure, wrapped in black, blurs from the dazzling sun. He picks up the scene in his mind and, with a brush stroke, creates a story on canvas in desert colors.
