Nupur Nishith Artist Bio & Statement
I am a New Jersey based artist inspired by the art from my birthplace, Mithila or Madhubani paintings an ancient folk art from India. Over the years, I have evolved my own distinct style by fusing the contemporary ideas with traditional art form using modern tools. Mithila Artform is famous for the details in the paintings in a flat two-dimensional perspective with no shading or overlapping. Taking it to the next level I draw inspiration for my art from my experience and surroundings. I visualize objects and situations in perspective to create the symbolic motifs and designs which makes my art unique and distinct. Mithila paintings use natural and bright colors with symbolic distinct features, which I never hesitate to experiment with while conserving the essence of the art form. I like to work mostly freehand without using any stencils or pattern tools on my projects.
I have learned through observation and everyday experiments. During research and production new areas of interest arise and lead to the next body of work. So, every piece that I create has a story to tell based on the research and its process of development.
