Cari Cohen was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and is currently based in North Miami Beach where she makes work that borders two and three dimensions. Inspired by architectural masters Zaha Hadid and Frank Gehry, Cohen’s visual language shares hard-edged lines with curves, inserting the organic into the angular square and breaking the rational towards the new and fantastic. Current projects have been shown at Miami Dade College where she presented her two distinct Series: Art + Light on pure Geometry and Art + Light on Organic evolving, and in 2019 she showed her new work with Art Santa Fe, NM, by Contemporary Art Projects USA. She has largely shown her work at Art Fairs and galleries such as the Wit Gallery, Lenox, MA and has also shown in private and public institutions including Citibank where she had artworks on display at the Aventura and Bal Harbour branches. Cohen received a degree in Architecture from the University of Buenos Aires, also specializing in multimedia design and photography through which she established her own Design firm in architecture and interior design in Buenos Aires, creating projects for international companies. Then in 2001, she relocated to the USA where she completed coursework in painting at Florida International University and Florida Atlantic University, also studying techniques for working with metals. She became American Citizen in 2010 and in 2016, Cohen founded her own creativity Art School, "The Fun Palette", to teach adults and children in a large range of innovative visual art fields.
