Janet Pancho Gupta is an artist and photographer. Gupta was born and raised in Philippines and is based in Hong Kong.
Gupta was born in Mabinay, Negros Oriental, Philippines. The artist and former domestic helper came to Hong Kong from the Philippines in 2000. [1]
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.
Artist Janet Pancho Gupta mixes colourful, up-close images with stark black and whites of city life in Hong Kong. [3]
Gupta calls her work a transformation and not a transition because both painting and photography become a perfect marriage in her creativity. [2] Gupta's photographs capture the daily life in the city, the busy urban landscape and nature in the New Territories. [2]
