Nobina Gupta Profile   |    Summary My Concept My search is to feel the life, which is not always visible or tangible. But exists around us the unseen world of microbes, organisms, with which we are sharing the air, water and space everyday. It’s amazing to realize how they look, feel, grow or reproduce? I wonder do they ever feel our existence. Even within the human body, cells and tissues are being generated, hormonal changes are occurring, glands are secreting...

But exists around us the unseen world of microbes, organisms, with which we are sharing the air, water and space everyday. It’s amazing to realize how they look, feel, grow or reproduce? I wonder do they ever feel our existence. Even within the human body, cells and tissues are being generated, hormonal changes are occurring, glands are secreting all in a continuous harmonic process. What motivate me is this rhythmic flow of life, freedom of evolution, spontaneity of growth within this vast expanse of organic world gushing with vital energy and emotions. The images in my works at times play as metaphors of biology, histology, embryology, genetics etc… They are a symbiosis of ethereal imagery capable of rejuvenating our senses to feel the essence of Life. Through a play of hide and seek you must keep traveling into the intricacies to the world beyond, searching for scintillating acquaintances and new identities. These works are woven with minute observations, real experiences, haunting visions, alluring fantasies, hallucinating illusions embroidered with allegories in one pictorial space seesawing between definite and indefinite, animate and inanimate, conscious and unconscious world. Through a dialogue between form and space, textures and void, accumulation and dispersion, growth and degeneration, harmony and chaos, attraction and repulsion, I create a visual language of my own. This search of endless discoveries and a journey of continuous interpretation creating an intangible imagery with microscopic vision reflecting a macroscopic concept of life is now, an obsession for me.
