ABOUT THE ARTIST
Born and brought up in Ahmedabad. Graduated as a
design student of NIFT in 2010 from Mumbai she immediately left for her hometown Ahmedabad where she came across her mother's paintings and the impact of
direct contact with abstract art was such that she began to simplify it in my own
way. That's when the journey began...

Her exhibition of Contemporary Figurative Paintings "THE SOUL" shows from the 18th of june, 2013 (Tuesday) till 23rd June, 2013 (Sunday), at 'The Gallery' Amdawad ni gufa, Guj University, Ahmedabad.
Crazy Indian Brides ask's " What is the soul about? Why this name?"
Noopur's says : The soul series was the outcome of the Delhi Gang Rape that happened in December last year and it left me disgusted and terrified. I began to search deeper into what's the inner identity , "the self" that gets affected rather than the outer physical state during any traumatic event.
While the brain has its lead in emotions, intellect, and will, and while people’s physical attributes are an essential part, we must also remember that the person is in itself an ultimate unit of analysis. Thoughts, feelings, actions are ultimately the dimensions of this person. And it is the soul that combines all of these dimensions of the person to form one life.
When it is broken to an extent where its unrepairable, you have to attend to it.
So The soul is, arguably, the most deepest dimension of a person or, as we often say today, as of the “self.” and the pain that is caused on this deep a level is what i wished to express through this series of my paintings.
The later part of the series are a reflection of my own personal experiences. For the past couple of months I rarely left the house. I did not answer the phone and rarely checked my mails. Most of the time was spent trying to answer the questions which had accumulated over the past couple of years.
To me the power of any painting lies in the fact that it was picked up from the real world, that a person's psyche interacted with and interpreted a particular piece of reality at a unique and inspired moment. The transformation that constitutes in a painting is what continues to captivate and inspire me.
As an artist I believe in and love painting. It can forever freeze a mystery, a memory, a moment. I paint everything, from the most seemingly daily details to the significantly interesting stories of our day. Wherever people gather, I come across the most fascinating dramatical performances with a cast of characters unintentionally playing their parts. These stories unfold one after the other ,collectively telling the story of life itself....
