Shlomit Saar Cohen

I was born and raised in a small city by the sea in the north of Israel. I was a very good student in school and was always fascinated with people, people behaviour, people expressions and the abnormality personalities theories. Naturally, I went to study Psychology in the university and graduated in excellence Magna cum Lauda. I loved studying psychology and working with people with disabilities but I was drown more to art and felt more in the "zone" when doing art. I was drawing, painting and sculpting ever since I remember myself. I was studying for the master degree in Psychology but felt that it wasn't for me so I left. After a while, I moved to Asia and traveled in south east Asia a lot. I learned about the different cultures, met interesting people, tasted different food and started incorporate what I see in my art works. The people I have met, the expressions and the facial features. I started teaching myself different techniques and experiencing with different materials and I felt that this is my call and destiny. After a few years I moved to Paris, France and since then I am doing my art in my home studio and enjoying every minute of it.
I mainly work with clay, resin and cold cast bronze. I like to sculpt people heads,...
