Muriel and Michal at On the Roof Studio

[ 01 ]

We are Muriel & Michal

Bezalel Fine Arts graduates, working painters and artists, living and creating in Jerusalem.

When we finished our studies, we knew we wanted to keep creating and painting. At the same time, we wanted to meet people — not stay inside the studio bubble.

In our vision, the studio is a place people walk into and meet a living studio — one where you can see behind the scenes: paintings on the walls, works in progress, paint on the floor, experiments, mistakes and successes. Inside this space, visitors go through an artistic process of their own, and the encounter enriches both sides, keeping art alive, open and connected.

Out of this idea we founded On the Roof Studio — a space for learning and artistic experience, offering workshops, courses and art events at a high level. It matters to us that every participant can take part and create meaningful work, with no prior experience at all.

We believe art belongs to everyone — it's a basic human language we all knew as children, and sometimes all it takes is a chance to meet it again. We'd love to meet you at the studio and create together.
