2nd Life: Rediscovering Nature's Canvas

Strongly influenced by Indian cultural roots, Spriha Gupta uses iconic symbolism to exemplify concepts close to her heart that are influenced by personal, societal and environmental changes.

Nature, with its intricate beauty, stands as the primary muse in Spriha’s paintings. Practicing intuitive painting, her work becomes a journey through layers of texture, rhythm, and movement—a profound interpretation of the natural world. Layering acrylic paints with an array of elements such as modeling paste, gels, tree bark, cheesecloth, and paper, she crafts compositions that possess both depth and fluidity giving a second life to them.

At the core of Spriha’s artistic existence lies a profound commitment to maintaining the delicate balance of nature. Through her brush, she eloquently expresses the urgency for collective awareness and action in the face of climate change. Her art urges every individual to confront and comprehend the harmful effects of global warming, working collaboratively toward a future where the world remains a canvas of rich, vivid colors rather than succumbing to a grey, lifeless fate.
