Paintings on natural stone

I am deeply connected to nature and often paint directly on natural stone. I allow the stone’s shape, color, cracks and texture to become part of the composition rather than simply serving as a surface.

The result is a one-of-a-kind object in which image and material feel inseparable.

About the artist

Miki Karni

Miki Karni

I am Miki Karni, a painter inspired by nature, the Mediterranean, and the quiet beauty found in small, often overlooked details. My paintings reflect an optimistic view of the world through color, light, warmth, and emotion.

For decades, I have painted ancient olive trees, Mediterranean doors and windows, turquoise seas, sailing boats, Parisian cafés, figurative scenes, and historic places shaped by time and memory.

My art combines realism with expressive color, texture, and atmosphere. Alongside traditional oil paintings on canvas, I also paint directly on natural stone, allowing its texture, form, and history to become part of each unique composition.

My work has been collected and exhibited by private collectors, companies, and institutions in Israel and abroad. Some of my paintings have also been presented as official gifts to international leaders.

I hope my art brings color, warmth, memory, and meaning into your home.

From my studio to collections and museums

My work is held in private and institutional collections in Israel and abroad. My projects include a series of paintings commissioned by the late Eitan Wertheimer for the Tefen car museum.
