Biography

     Bracha Guy was born in Israel and still lives there today. Her natural talent with color and form were apparent from an early age, and she has developed it into an extraordinary style. Guy has studied in Israel under the world class painter Moti Mizrahi, who had high praise for her work. From 1970 to 1974, she studied at the Avni School of Art in Tel-Aviv.

     Ever since, Guy has been developing and perfecting a unique post modern expressionism, creating a new language that combines color, form, and space. Her artwork has been exhibited in prestigious museums and galleries around the world. The paintings of Bracha Guy shimmer with an appreciation of light and color and life itself. Her strong canvases are filled with intricate geometrics and bright, pure spots of color, with Matisse and Art Nouveau elements. With color, patterns, and intricate detail, Guy offers an unusual insight into the lives of women, from a feminine point of view. Sensual women in exotic, almost theatrical costumes and elaborate headwear adorn her world, their luminous skin reflecting the vivid rainbow of color surrounding them. Vibrant blooms appear everywhere, decorating tables, topping garden walls and scattered across the luxuriant fabrics worn by women.

     Like a flower unfolding, her creative impulse is always evolving, always changing, offering added dimensions of artistry. Her optimistic outlook on life is conveyed through her renderings, which embody beauty and happiness. Her works portray women who are more confident in their surroundings, more pleased with themselves, calmer and in more control of their environment. For Bracha Guy, a paintbrush is like a musical score, each brushstroke a note, each painting a symphony.
