Twyla Tharp
Nanda Gupta is a Delhi based artist. She first started painting as a means to convey the beauty of nature and capture in art those magical moments when she felt connected to nature. She experimented with different kinds of medium, loved what she was doing and became a serious painter.
Since then she has found that painting gave her a creative way to express her inner feelings. As she moved through life, she found that yoga, meeting her guru and her daily sadhna and practices began an inner journey that has added a new dimension in her life that is reflected in her paintings.
"Painting started a journey of self discovery for me.. It gave me a way to express my feelings and my emotions when I see/experience something overwhelming or moving.
I have realized that this is my life purpose… to express myself in a way that brings out my true self and hopefully touches the viewer from within. "
She has trained under Kavita Jaiswal and later under Sunando Basu.
Many moments in my life i have felt connected to everything
Just walking on the streets made me peer at the red mud and grass, or just a little nod from the trees,a whisper from the wind ,the gentle shower of rain, feeling love for a person passing by ....
So i have tried to give names to these moments as best as i can.
When i see something that does not represent something normal...and it (colour, form, movement ) moves me...I feel connected to it and i don't know why....yet it makes me wonder.. and takes me to another world....that's abstract and spiritual at the same time to me...and I feel blessed it to be able to see and feel such things.
Each day makes me stop and think and take a pause, notice and enjoy the little joys of life .
Shiva
He is the first guru ,Adi Guru for all yoga aspirants.
I have been doing Yoga asanas, pranayama, meditation for a while now.
So I was unconsciously drawn to him. I find there is something mystical and unique in his existence which draws me to him.
When I meditate on him I feel a surge of energy and forms coming to me and my journey begins.
Though all my art comes from Him i have offered my devotion in my Shiva series.
He is that which is not, he is everything, he is the cosmos....
Nature
Shiva and Shakti always go together and so my inspiration continued.
She has been my greatest inspiration. Whether it the mountains, the sea, the forest, or simply being under the sky and stars.
Many series have emerged being overwhelmed by Her .
Calm is the green leaves
that sways soo gently
as if swooning over her lover here and now
The fragrance of the earth
consumes me
the pitter and patter
wants me to join them at play
just listening to her,
moistens my eyes;
gives me goosebumps,
connects me to her,
Mother nature
she kills me softly with her song !
