Rupa Samaria is a bird artist who aims at creating awareness on the issue of bird conservation through her art works both in India and overseas. The birds on her canvas come alive. Well, their calls can also be listened to. In a chat with N Kalyani, the Delhi-based artist shares the kind of art she creates, and the conservation issues that she thus espouses. Samaria also reminisces the house sparrow, a bird rarely seen now in urban settings.

The Art of Bird Conservation

It is the avian world that attracts Rupa Samaria. And she showcases it through her art work. Rupa Samaria was a full-time teacher in Delhi till 2017 when she gave up her job to pursue her passion for painting. Says Samaria, "It was after meeting birder friends and going out birding with them I decided to leave my full-time job at the American Embassy School to devote my time solely to art. I realized it was time for me to follow my dream. Painting is my passion, and I decided to follow my passion as a bird artist."

Samaria reveals she has been interested in painting since childhood. She is a trained artist having done a three-year diploma in art from the South Delhi Polytechnic.

On birds being the theme of her paintings she says, "Birds fascinate me for their uniqueness and their striking plumage. My penchant for birds and wildlife conservation influences my art. I strive to bring to life on canvas and other mediums the beautiful birds of the Indian subcontinent and the world."
