With healing hands, I paint ethereal strands,
a tapestry of light-codes, music’s commands,
each brushstroke a melody, healing and pure,
in harmonious union, art’s divine allure.
Biography
NOHI MEHROTRA
b. Kanpur, India
As a partial synesthete and an intuitive energy healer, Nohi Mehrotra uniquely weaves music, colors and healing into a visual symphony. Her paintings, bursting with vivid colors and textured compositions, are coded with light-language and invite viewers to heal and awaken dormant aspects of their subconscious.
Nohi’s artistic sojourn draws from her rich Indian upbringing. Enchanting melodies of Sufi and Hindustani Classical music and vibrant textiles and her father’s bipolar journey inspired her deeply. Music became his refuge, which left an indelible mark on Nohi.
She ventured to New York in 2011, to pursue her visual-arts career, studying at the renowned School of Visual Arts and The Art Student’s League.
In 2019, Nohi was featured painting live in a documentary “Dialogues with Zuleyha,” where she collaborated with a music therapist, offering the audience an immersive healing experience. Nohi’s paintings have found their place in private collections in India, Turkey, Texas, New York and New Jersey.
