Sharon Berebichez
Bio
Sharon Berebichez is a visual artist and art educator, born in Mexico City, Mexico, and based in Miami, Florida, for
the last 11 years. She has a Bachelor in Arts 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.
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.
Statement
Born in Mexico City, Berebichez lives and works in Miami, Florida.
She is a multidisciplinary artist whose work intersects with ecological and ecofeminist
ideas, particularly focusing on women’s relationships with society and cultural values
that uphold the domination of both nature and women. Through subversive use of
domestic spaces and the idea of “home,” her work opens a dialogue around
motherhood and the balance of professional and personal identity as a woman artist.
In her mixed-media paintings, which incorporate fabric and embroidery, Berebichez
emphasizes the materiality of her process, exploring connections to the textural
language of elemental compositions, the psychology of color, and the sensory, affective
qualities of her media. As a process-based artist, she embraces repetition as a
generative and meditative practice that allows her to remain fully present, delving into
deeper resonances with her identity as a woman.
