Earth Our Heaven

Design TeamBorn and raised in Mumbai, India, Gauri Chopra began her career in 2002, when she transformed her  childhood hobby of photography into her passion as a self taught nature and commercial photographer.  In 2010 Chopra graduated with a BA in industrial scientific photography from the prestigious  Brooks Institute of photography in Santa Barbara, California.  This newly acquired knowledge of scientific techniques changed Chopra’s perspective towards  photography, after which she started her commercial career in New York. In the midst of her commercial journey she realised that her art itself was calling for a larger purpose. A purpose to create more value by scaling her art and sharing the knowledge with others. “Art itself is a passionate journey, hence art can create awareness and value only when it is accessible to the world”. In the search for creating more awareness of the artist within herself, in 2014 Chopra discovered the ocean through her lens, after which she quit her commercial work and dedicated 5 years of her life to studying and capturing the wonders of our oceans and its inhabitants in the Indian ocean. In the process, while scuba diving she further studied the benefits of the power of observation,  and began her journey towards creating spiritual art through her personal experiences with the help of  meditation and sound. This artwork has been created by meditating on the ultimate healing mantra from the Indian Vedic philosophies  which Chopra grew up with, and which eventually became her way of life. She used this mantra to plant  pure intentions in the heart of the universe to heal our environment, and created this art to reflect  her  visions and journey during her meditation.
