Barak was born on March 1st, 1991. Since childhood Barak has demonstrated a dual passion for art and business. While receiving his informal artistic training by observing his parents paint at their home studio, Barak pursued formal education by completing a Bachelor as well as Master’s degree in Business Administration. Barak’s dream became a reality when he moved to Whistler, BC and purchased the Plaza Art Gallery.

The beautiful, scenic mountainscapes of British Columbia quickly became Barak’s main source of inspiration. He dreamed of recreating the true textural feel of the mountains on canvas. He creates a stone-like, textural technique by mixing sand, clay, and paint to form a new medium, which he then applies onto the canvas with a palette knife. Using this medium and technique he infuses each one of his paintings with a breathtaking textural and three-dimensional look.

In recent years, Barak began collaborating with his sister, Miri, to create 2Wild. As the 2Wild sculptural collection evolved to include plexiglass, metal, and wood elements, Barak took on the role of the studio’s chief engineer and fabricator. The artists’ technique quickly grew to include industrial tools and processes such as laser-cutting, welding, acrylic-bending, mold-creating, and wood carving in addition to traditional paint brushes and palette-knives. Finding creative ways of integrating these processes with 2Wild’s vision is Barak’s passion.
