This week I had the privilege of enjoying a special interview with a skillful and accomplished artist in watercolor, oils, and acrylics and is passionate about capturing nature’s beauty and wonder in her paintings. It is my pleasure to shine our “Artist Spotlight” on Shradha Gupta.
Ms. Gupta began her artistic journey very early in life. She has been painting since she was a child. She discovered the process brought her peace and tranquility. Shradha received solid, formal training in artistic techniques and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. She also studied Web Development, which peaked her interest in digital art. Shradha honed her skills and further developed this approach by pursuing a Master of Fine Arts in the visual art field. This training taught her to combine the skills she acquired in traditional painting with abstract art forms. She continues to be inspired by these techniques today. She states “I strive to balance realism with dynamic brushwork to convey the mood of the scenes I depict … celebrating the beauty of nature.”
Shradha finds endless inspiration in the natural world. Her favorite subjects may be found in the gentle flow of a waterfall, the petals of a delicate flower, the serenity of clouds, the graceful movements of animals, and ever-changing landscapes. The elements of these natural themes speak to her on a deep, emotional level. Nature’s colors, textures, and rhythms ignite her creativity and bring a sense of calm and wonder that is her aim to capture on canvas and share with the viewer.
Each of Ms. Gupta’s subjects tells a story and her paintings reflect that for the viewer’s delight. She states “painting allows me to connect with these moments of beauty and share them with others, hoping to evoke the same peace and joy that nature gives me.” She further explains that, as she paints, each brushstroke is a way to celebrate the quiet power of the outdoors; a reminder to slow down and appreciate the world’s simple, breathtaking details.
We, at the White Rabbit Fine Art Gallery in Travelers Rest are fortunate indeed to have Shradha Gupta as one of our talented guest artist’s. I urge you to plan a trip to the gallery to see the work of this fine artist. As you gaze on her expressive paintings, experience the calm and peacefulness that bring joy to the soul.
