Biography
Gupta was born in Mabinay, Negros Oriental, Philippines. The artist and former domestic helper came to Hong Kong from the Philippines in 2000.[1]
Paintings
As a painter, Gupta is known to create bold, detailed watercolor works and intense portraits that draw the viewer to the expressions.[2]
Gupta began to paint nature as it was the aspect that she missed the most from her childhood as she was constantly surrounded by it in her hometown back in the Philippines. Gupta's recent "pixelated" artworks highlight her feelings of being enclosed in the small spaces of Hong Kong.
