Rachel Tirosh...
She plays with texture and colors to evoke feelings of balance, tranquility, peace of mind and harmony through her art.
Rachel Tirosh was born in a small suburb city in Israel and relocated to California in 1994.
Silicon Valley was a great opportunity to live and experience life abroad and they are still living in Sunnyvale, California.
​
Her mother studied the arts and was an incredibly talented painter.
Life events blocked her from pursuing her dream, but later in life she resumed her fine art painting and managed to instill the love of art in Rachel, who now with art, she relishes the freedom of "no right or wrong way" to create.
Art simply invites her desire for free expression without boundaries or rules, so, she plays with texture and colors to evoke feelings of balance, tranquility, peace of mind and harmony through her art.
Tirosh had always wanted to paint in an abstract way, but did not know the language.
In 2014, Tirosh met a renown international artist, Stella Zhang.
When she painted with Stella’s guidance, inspiration, and critique, Tirosh’s world was opened to using mixed media.
She was striving for new tools and artistic language, and this new creative practice gave her what she was seeking.
It was the beginning of Tirosh developing a unique artistic style and she has built upon it ever since.
Her technique and color palette became richer and more daring.
Tirosh’s paintings combine collages, paper, minimalism, big shapes, edges, movement and Wabi-sabi principles.
Tirosh work is a process of layering, pouring water with pigment and glue, scraping off, scratching into the surface, leaving traces of earlier information, a buildup and overlap of successive stages.
The process only stops when the painting is pleasing to her.
Rachel Tirosh say:
"The real interpretation of the paintings is not in what the artist sees, it is in the eyes of the individual viewer to wonder and imagine."
