Roots and Resonance

Spiritual Artist • Visionary Leader • Founder, Libre Essence Studio Ananta

Born in Calcutta in 1973, Anuragk inherits a lineage steeped in wisdom, artistry, and service. His paternal great-grandfather, Dr. Hari Gopal Gupta, was the Royal Physician of Jodhpur in the 1800s — a name still honoured in Rajasthan’s records of the court. His grandfather, Dr. A. M. Gupta, was a freedom fighter remembered in the Quit India Movement, with a street still bearing his name — Doctor Gupta Street, Ajmer District.

From his mother’s side, Anuragk descends from the landed family of the Sundarbans, with his great-grandfather Rai Saheb Haridas Gupta — founder of the Shimla Kali Bari Temple — and a line of Sanskrit scholars and musicians who nurtured the arts and the sacred alike. This confluence of royal service, scholarship, and devotion became the foundation of his life’s canvas.

As a child, Anuragk’s creative instinct blossomed amidst the misty pine valleys of Solan, Himachal Pradesh, where silence, mountains, and temple bells became his first tutors. What began as charcoal sketches on walls evolved into an artistic philosophy — a search for beauty beyond form. His gift was soon recognized by Justice Onkar Singh, who invited him to restore the works of Sikh master painter Sobha Singh — a sacred apprenticeship that shaped his early years.

Guided by mentors and refined through life’s crucibles, Anurag’s artistic language evolved from realism and surrealism to his own expression — Libre Essence — an intuitive, spiritually resonant style where every brushstroke becomes a mantra. His works have since been appreciated by Pope John Paul II and acknowledged by Queen Elizabeth II, marking milestones of global recognition that few Indian artists have achieved.

Parallel to his creative journey, Anurag pursued an MBA in Human Resource Management, building a 25-year career in HR and leadership — crowned with a Leadership and Change Management Certificate from Harvard University. This union of structure and soul, people and purpose, refined him not only as an artist but as a spiritual leader — one who bridges inner evolution with outer excellence.

Today, through Libre Essence Studio Ananta, Anurag stands as a Spiritual Artist-Leader — a voice for a new creative consciousness. His paintings, sculptures, and reliefs are not mere artworks but meditations in colour and silence — each one a sacred offering that bridges the seen and unseen, reminding us that true art is not made by hand alone, but by the soul in surrender.

“To paint is to pray; to sculpt is to serve; to create is to remember.”

Anuragk Gupta is a spiritual contemporary artist working through Libre Essence — Spiral Cosmic Expression, a visual language that uses the ontological spiral to map states of consciousness. His textured, meditative canvases explore metaphysical colour harmonies, inner movement, and the journey of the Seeker of the Infinite Within, bridging Indian spiritual traditions and contemporary abstraction..

AnuragK Gupta: The Alchemist of the Void

By Jeeshnu Gupta

We spend our days trying to decipher the language of the world, searching for a treasure that we believe lies far beyond the horizon. We fill our lives with objects, with noise, and with the relentless pursuit of status, only to discover that there is a hollowness at the centre of it all—a "Void" that no amount of gold can fill. It is in this silence, in this precise moment of emptiness, that the work of Anurag K. Gupta begins.

He is not merely a painter, he is a man who has understood his “Story”. Like a silent sage dissolved in the rhythms of life, finding his own truth, he walks among us not as a “Merchant of Art”, but as a "Spiritual Architect".

To stand before his work is to understand that art is not about what we see, but about what we become when we stop looking and start feeling. There is an ancient truth that says the universe is made of stories, not atoms. Anurag tells the story of the "Libre Essence", a language that bridges the visible and the invisible. He has walked the path of the corporate warrior & trained in the high halls of Harvard, speaking the language of strategy and scale. Yet, he returned to the easel because he understood that the true "Artist" does not lead with commands, but with vision.

His art is a "Spiritual Infrastructure". It is not meant to hang passively on a wall, like a trophy of conquest. It is an intervention. In the grand lobbies and the private sanctuaries, his installations act as a "Goldmine of Positive Energy". They transform the space from a mere container of people into a vessel of the divine. This is the difference between the "Aesthetic of Decor," which pleases the eye, and the "Aesthetic of Being," which awakens the soul.

When we ask how to value such work, we must look beyond the marketplace. The true currency here is "Tapas"—the heat of spiritual discipline. It is "The Star's Fire" captured in pigment and form. In a world that prizes the finished product, Anurag teaches us that the Process is greater than the Art, and the Energy is greater than the Concept. His work is a mirror where "Spirituality becomes Aesthetics".

"Darkness holds, but it does not reveal," he reminds us. His creations are the light that "reveals the path, awakens the eye, and reflects the hidden order within the void". To possess a piece of his work is to inherit a legacy of truth. It is to accept that we are not human beings having a spiritual experience, but spiritual beings having a human experience.

Anurag K. Gupta has written a new chapter in the history of art, one he calls Jyotidarshika. It is a map for those brave enough to close their eyes and see. For in the end, he does not sell art, he offers a way to turn the lead of our daily existence into the gold of pure consciousness.
