The Story Behind Hopping Hare: 18 Years of Artistry
I’m Shagufta Hamza. What started with a single mural in Nagpur evolved into a journey of painting over 70 walls across India. Here is how I turn blank spaces into personal stories.
People often ask me why I paint walls. In this video, I share my story of how I transitioned from canvas to larger-than-life murals, a journey that led to the creation of Hopping Hare and over 72 murals across the country.
A look back at my journey as an artist. From my early days to now, I've completed 71 wall murals and 6 installations over 18 years across Mumbai, Bangalore, Nagpur, and Hyderabad. It's a surreal feeling to see how far we've come.
Your office deserves better than beige. As an artist and consultant, I'm passionate about helping companies understand the power of original murals, guiding them from the initial brief to the final execution.
Your walls have a story to tell. If they are still silent, maybe it's time they started speaking. Here I am in my studio with a floral painting, ready to help make your office a place of pride, purpose, and presence.
What if your office walls could speak? A blank wall is a missed opportunity to inspire, to connect, and to tell your company's story. Let's start that conversation together.
Here I am with the completed "Doorways of India" mural at Tablespace. We revisited this piece to add more depth and detail, and I'm so much happier with the sharper, more vibrant outcome.
A compilation of some of my favorite projects. This video brings together the Spanish-themed clubhouse, the Puma store mural, a floral piece for a restaurant, and more, showcasing the variety of styles and spaces I've had the pleasure to work on.
About Meet the Artist: My Story
Every project I take on starts with a conversation about you, not a preset portfolio. I look at your space's lighting, your personality, and the specific atmosphere you want to create before picking up a brush. If you are curious about how we might translate your story onto a wall—or even a custom canvas—let's discuss the possibilities.
Art should feel personal, not just like a decorative afterthought. When I started Hopping Hare, my goal was simple: to move beyond canvases and treat walls as larger-than-life opportunities for connection. Over the last 18 years, I have worked in boardrooms in Bengaluru, restaurants in Mumbai, and quiet corners of homes in Hyderabad, always focusing on contemporary realism and nature-inspired themes.
My Process
- Understanding the Vision: I begin by listening. Whether it is a corporate office needing a brand-aligned mural or a home requiring a subtle floral statement, I need to know what you want to feel when you walk into the room.
- From Concept to Reality: I provide digital pre-visualizations so you can see exactly how the art sits in your space. We check wall health, lighting, and texture to ensure the paint stays vibrant for years.
- Collaborative Execution: I do not just drop off art. I handle the entire installation, from masking your floors to applying the final dust-resistant varnish. For larger projects, I bring in a trusted team to ensure we meet deadlines without compromising on the detail.
I believe your walls have a story waiting to be told. Whether you are looking for a complex kinetic installation, a large-scale mural, or a small canvas piece, I am here to help make your space feel alive.
