Neela Parvat (Blue Mountain) Painting

Himani Gupta (b. 1985) is a visual artist based in London. She works in painting, drawing and mixed media. Her practice is informed by cities, land, movement, bodies, nature and their components. Through walking, she unveils the complexities and layers of the physical realm, and mines her own emotional responses - making the process deeply personal. By recording her experiences through visual notes and sound recordings, she creates studies, drawings and paintings. Notable exhibitions and engagements include a solo show of her paintings in UNESCO New Delhi, solo show at the Kuona Trust, Nairobi, solo show and panel at Durham University, UK, and collaborations in the research areas of image making and chronic pain with the Slade School of Art, London. She trained in fine arts and spatial design at Central Saint Martins, London (2005-07). She also holds a M.Sc. in real estate and urban planning from University College London (2011-12)
