About 2Wild

2Wild is a collaborative collection from the artistic minds of Barak and Miri Rozenvain. This brother and sister duo brings two individual talents together to create a stunning new mixed media style. Learn more about this exciting collaboration and consider the opportunity to present these artists with a unique commission inspired by your own vision.

Since childhood, Barak and Miri shared a studio that helped each other grow as artists. They traveled often as a family and were equally inspired by natural and cultural landscapes. Visiting art shows, galleries, and museums enriched their artistic development, while enjoying hikes, national parks, and encounters with wildlife inspired their minds, focus, and mission. This love and passion for nature and the outdoors became an integral part of the artists' identities. Expressing their passion for the natural world through innovative and unique combinations of contemporary media quickly became the artists' mission.

The artists are inspired by the impressive North American wilderness, often making its wildlife and landscapes the subject of their world. 2Wild approached wildlife painting through a contemporary lens, capturing the impressions of fleeting encounters with animals. This moment is rendered through gestural contours, drips, and palette knife butterflies. The artwork speaks to nature's adaptability and timelessness, and our innate connection to it. Each one of the 2Wild paintings is teeming with emotion, telling tales of wonder and excitement, with a mission to preserve nature's legacy.

Creating 2Wild artwork is a fluid and always evolving process. Detailed brush and palette knife work is enriched with contemporary mediums such as shattered glass, resin, collage media, and plexiglass. The use of transparent plexiglass as a "canvas" in their fine art creations, quickly became one of 2Wild's most iconic features. The transparent nature of the material allows the artists to paint on both sides of the glass achieving impeccable depth, and seamlessly merging the artwork with the interior in which it is displayed. Similar to the dialogue created between the space and the artwork, a captivating play between word and image is fostered using carefully curated collage media. This creates a form of storytelling, conveying the artists' message, and cultivating a perfect setting for the subject matter.

2Wild blends traditional and contemporary art elements into a seamless reflection of joy and happiness. Using vibrant butterflies as a symbol of nature's lightness, elegance, and resilience, the artists infuse their paintings with the values of freedom, joy, and timelessness. Whether it's a kind bear waking up in spring amid fluttering colorful butterflies or a skier propelled by a wave of butterflies, the message is loud and clear. Go out there and be wild!

FAQs

Who are the artists?

2Wild is an artistic collaboration of brother and sisterMiriandBarak Rozenvain. They create without boundaries under the name2Wild.

What media is used to create this work?

Miri and Barak spend time prior to creating a piece collecting mementos and bits of inspiration from places they love and their travels. The materials they use to create a piece of art range from grains of sand, to clippings of maps and magazines, to an occasional splash of glitter.

Do they take commissions?

Yes! Barak and Miri love to collaborate and create a vision together. Give us a call and one of our art consultants would be more than happy to set up a commissioned work.

What do the butterflies represent?

In an interview with Miri and Barak, they both discuss their love of nature and how growing up in a rural area influenced their view of wildlife.

“The animals are part of the community, you spend time with them every day in your neighborhood and see them for the essential creatures they are.” The bright butterflies aim to bring out soft, kind, and positive feelings towards animals. Typically, when 2Wild paints the large animals they grew up around, they want the world to see them for their beauty, not as aggressive beasts. Miri and Barak see these works as a tribute to their childhood neighbors.

Do Barak and Miri paint together?

It depends on the artwork. Sometimes they have a steady process of who completes what and when. Other times, if the piece is like nothing they’ve ever done before, there is more collaboration within the room together, or they pass the piece back and forth and continue based on what the other has completed. Every single product of2Wildis a genuine work of passion from collaborative artists and is truly unique compared to anything they have ever done before.
