In 1955 she was awarded a Diploma in Design in the Modeling and Sculpture course from Camberwell College of Arts in London. At Camberwell she studied under the British sculptor Jacob Epstein and Karel Vogel of Czechoslovakia. In 1966, she met Danish artist Asger Jorn in Paris.[5] She studied European sculpture under the sculptor Venturino Venturi in Florence and later in Vienna. She was influenced by many western modern sculptors such as Henry Moore.[1] CareerAhmed jointly worked with Hamidur Rahman on the original design of the Shaheed Minar, Dhaka. During 1956-1960, she had done about 100 sculptures in Dhaka. Out of her 100 sculptures, 33 sculptures are currently in Bangladesh National Museum. Ahmed's first exhibition was held in University of Dhaka in 1960.[2] Another exhibition of her works was held in Lahore in 1961. Her last exhibition was also held in Paris in July 1973.[2] Style and techniqueAhmed's early works resembled geometrical forms made by stones and concrete and anthropomorphic forms - mixing the human figure and animals.[5] Then she used iron and steel and later bronze. She began sprays paintings, using plane crash remains from the US army (1964–1969).[5] After her bad accident, her drawings included shapes and figures of a meditative character: space, island, birds in the sky, phoenix, flowers, water, sunshine and the moon, minimalist landscapes, human figures turned toward a new horizon and others.[5] Personal lifeAhmed was married to a police officer in mid 1945 in Calcutta.[3] The couple got divorced in late 1945.[3] She started living in France since the 1970s.[4] In 1984, she married Gregoire de Brouhns in 1984.[5] Death and legacyAhmed suffered a stroke in 2010 and she was in a wheelchair since then.[5] She died on 6 May 2015 at a hospital in Paris, France.[6] In August 2017, the ministry of cultural affairs of the Government of Bangladesh announced a plan to purchase ten paintings of Ahmed for $47,000.[7] On 29 March 2019, search engine Google commemorated Novera Ahmed with a Doodle on her 80th birth anniversary.[8] Selected worksReferences1. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://archive.thedailystar.net/beta2/news/highlighting-noveras-life-and-works/|title=Highlighting Novera's life and works|date=July 11, 2013|publisher=The Daily Star|author=UNB}} {{failed verification |reason=the source states that she was born in 1930 (which is much more plausible than 1939)|date=August 2016}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{cite news|url=http://bdnews24.com/bangladesh/2015/05/07/pioneer-sculptor-novera-ahmed-dies-in-paris|title=Pioneer sculptor Novera Ahmed dies in Paris|date=May 7, 2015|publisher=bdnews.com}} 3. ^1 {{cite book|last=Hye|first=Hasnat|url=http://www.amarboi.com/2013/04/novera-hasanat-abdul-hye.html|title=Novera|page=389}} 4. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|url=http://www.exporevue.com/magazine/fr/index_novera.html|title=Novera, la comète imprévisible|trans-title=The unpredictable comet|accessdate=4 September 2017|publisher=Exporevue Magazine|first=Patrick|last=Amine|date=February 2014}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite news |title=Novera, pioneer of progressiveness in Bangladesh |url=http://www.thedailystar.net/arts-entertainment/novera-pioneer-progressiveness-bangladesh-80953 |date=May 7, 2015 |newspaper=The Daily Star}} 6. ^{{cite news |title=Sculptor Novera passes away |url=http://thedailystar.net/arts-entertainment/sculptor-novera-passes-away-80931 |newspaper=The Daily Star |date=May 6, 2015 |accessdate=May 6, 2015}} 7. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.dhakatribune.com/feature/people-feature/2017/08/31/govt-purchase-novera-paintings/|title=Govt plans to purchase Novera Ahmed paintings|date=31 August 2017|accessdate=4 September 2017|publisher=Dhaka Tribune|first=Asif|last=Kallol}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.google.com/doodles/novera-ahmeds-80th-birthday|title=Novera Ahmed's 80th Birthday|work=Google|date=29 March 2019}} Further reading
