Sasha Meret was born in Romania in 1955, of Romanian and Russian parents. He started to study art at an early age, and earned a BA in 1974, and an MA in 1979. After his arrival in New York, he studied printmaking with Tony Harrison at Columbia University. He currently lives and works in New York City, and he had exhibits in Europe, Japan, and the U.S. In 1994 he joined the International Art Group "Gaia" sponsored by Triskell Gallery in France. His work encompasses a wide range of techniques and styles. He combines painting with printmaking techniques like: intaglio, woodcut, aquatint, monotype, and works in a variety of styles, from representational to abstract. His imagery reflects his spiritual explorations, blending European, African, Asian, and esoteric symbolism in a highly personal visual language. He alternates figuration with abstraction in search for a balance between ideas and emotions. He also collaborates as an illustrator for "The New York Times", "Simon and Schuster", "Henry Holt" and other publishing houses. His work is part of many collections, such as: Pfizer, Sony Corporation, Joyce-Gilmore Mertz Foundation, Pall Corporation, and other corporate and private collections.
