Renu Gupta

Renu Gupta (Raina)

Passionate in her entire core, Renu is a self taught artist who started with painting professionally after completing her Bachelor’s in Education degree. Her desire to make art as a career won over her parents who were reluctant about her taking up painting full time. She is a member of the International Water Colors Society, experimenting with her work and her paintings have been displayed in places like Florence and Italy. Also a poetess in her heart, she often displays her paintings along with her poetry which augments the beauty of her work.

ये रंग मुझे बुलाते हैं

अपना परिचय करवाते हैं

समझ नहीं आते हैं

फिर कहीं ओझल हो जाते हैं

मैं इनमें घुलना चाहूं

और घुलती ही जाऊँ

फिर भी अपने आप को

कहीं अकेला खड़ी पाऊँ

पता नहीं ये मुझसे क्या चाहते हैं

ये रंग मुझे बुलाते हैं

अपने आप से मिलवाते हैं;

I endorse my paintings with my nickname RAINA. I also write poems when I am not painting, colors become words and get spread all over the paper.
