About the Item

This artwork titled "Sisters" 1989, is an oil painting on canvas by noted Polish/American artist Miriam Briks, b.1957. It is signed and dated at the lower left corner by the artist. The canvas size is 18 x 24 inches, framed size is 27 x 33 inches. Framed in a white and silver frame, with fabric liner and silver color fillet. It is in excellent condition. Please note: The darker line on the left of the canvas is not a part of the artwork, it is the shadow of the lighting. About the artist: Miriam Briks was born in Wroclaw, Poland. Raised in New York, she graduated from the School of Art and Design and studied figurative painting and drawing extensively at the Art Students League of New York. For the next six years she worked as an illustrator and art teacher in Los Angeles and Florence, Italy. She also continued her studies at the Academy of Art in Siena. Originally trained in classical art, she began exhibiting her work in Paris, Italy and England. Upon her return to the United States, she took up residence in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas. Here she began the transition of her work to include a more varied use of color and gestural strokes, inspired greatly by the artists John Singer Sargent, William Merritt Chase, Joaquin Sorolla, and Anders Zorn. Portraying through rich colors and textures, she has a style of painting that gently blends strong knowledge of the figure with classical impressionism. Briks strives to create paintings that evoke emotion and atmosphere, where the viewer is drawn into the beauty and mood of the moment. Miriam Briks' work has been seen in American Art Review, Southwest Art, Architectural Digest, California Homes, San Diego Magazine, and Aspen Catalogue. Her works are found in many important and private collections with collectors including Kim Bassinger, Hayley Mills, George Harrison and others throughout the United States and internationally.
