Miri Baruch
Miri Baruch is a passionate professional abstract and figurative art painter since 2016. She was born in Argentina in 1964 and moved to Israel when she was 15 years old, she is married + 2. Miri has a BA degree in biophysical chemistry and worked for the hi-tech industry (intel) for 27 years. Miri kept connected to her artistic side by taking drawing classes and oil realistic painting workshops. In 2015, she decided to retire from Intel and pursue painting as a professional career. Inspiration comes to her from everyday activities, like observation in the street, a scene from television, a dream, a memory, etc. The process of making an abstract painting is an adventurous journey, it starts with a few random strokes and grows layer by layer until she feels the work is completed. For figurative paintings, Miri blends abstract elements into the figures to add excitement and surprise. Her artworks are displayed for sale in several Israeli galleries, at her Etsy on-line store, and at international online art galleries like Saatchi & Singulart. Miri has participated in several group exhibitions and hosted a solo exhibition.
