Sharon Berebichez “RIMONIM”

BIO

Sharon Berebichez is a visual artist and art educator, born in Mexico City, Mexico, and based in Miami, Florida, for the last 10 years. She graduated as a graphic designer from Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City. In her practice, she is constantly experimenting with new materials and techniques. For over 25 years, Berebichez has painted with acrylic and oil on paper and canvas, created assemblages with found objects, and sculpture pieces in resin. Recently, she has shifted her focus to fiber art, specifically embroidery, and weaving.

As a process-based artist, Sharon relies on the repetition of movement and the creation of patterns like a meditative process that allows her to be present and mindful, making connections with her work and her identity as a woman and as a third-generation migrant. Her use of texture and materials reflects her mixed Mexican, Guatemalan, and Jewish heritage, creating pieces that are both visually enticing and culturally significant.

Berebichez has exhibited her work nationally and internationally. Some locations of note are Frost Science Museum, Miami, in 2019; the Camp Gallery, in North Miami, as part of FAMA (Fiber Artists Miami Association) in 2021; the Frank C. Ortis Gallery in Pembroke Pines, Florida, in 2022; and the Mexican and Colombian Consulates in Miami, also in 2022.
