I Carry My Home with Me -Interview with Artist Munira Naqui

Munira Naqui is a visual artist who was born in Chattogram, a bustling port town on the coast of Bay of Bengal which is now Bangladesh. She has been living in the USA since 1982.
She now lives in Portland Maine, a beautiful coastal town at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean and works in her studio tucked in the woods across a pristine lake.
Her work is shown regularly at the Salon Realites Nouvelles, Paris France, Cove Street Arts in Portland and Corey Daniels Gallery
in Wells, Maine USA.
She is represented by Gallery Nine in Amsterdam, Netherlands
Note: As with all our interviews, there is a lot that doesn't make the cut. Munira shared with us two artists who she has a strong heartfelt connection to; Zarina Hashmi and Nasreen Mohamedi.

Fascinating to hear of your background and to see your studio. I hope that we meet someday, somewhere.

Enjoyed this wonderful interview of Munira Naqui. "Color transcends language barriers" - very well said. We are lucky to have this biological sense of color, Munira Naqui presents this sense "without noise." I try to contemplate on this presentation by total immersion, without any logical or intellectual musing and that makes the viewing satisfying.

Thank you for tuning in! We are enamored with Munira's work, her ability to reduce noise and look for color inspiring.

I love this interview so much, it's truly inspiring to hear Munira talk about her art as a job and about rejection.

I enjoyed this interview very much. I too live in Maine, Hudson Maine, on a beautiful lake. As a self taught watercolor artist who is suffering a painting dry spell at the moment, I find Munira's words and insight inspirational. A quiet, fresh way to view our world. Thank you, I think I may pick up my brush today!

Thank you so much! If we can inspire folks to create with our interviews than we are doing our job well!
