Ragni Agarwal

"Art is the compass through the unpredictable landscape of my brain."

For Indian-American artist Ragni Agarwal, art is both a guiding force and an act of radical self-expression. Based in Los Angeles, her work explores empowerment, mental health, and breaking free from societal expectations. Through a bold, saturated palette and playful motifs, she reclaims space for resilience, individuality, and healing.

Agarwal’s journey began in childhood as she navigated social anxiety by creating her own vibrant worlds. This formative practice now fuels her art, which embraces neurodiversity and the power of play to reshape personal and collective narratives.

Her work merges her Indian heritage with her California desert upbringing, resulting in a maximalist, energetic style that bridges tradition and rebellion. Across fine art, graphic design, and immersive installations, she crafts symbolic, inclusive worlds that celebrate freedom, joy, and self-discovery.

With collaborations including Hulu, Always, and Bombay Sapphire, and exhibitions at multiple galleries, Agarwal’s art invites viewers to embrace their authenticity, connect with ancestral roots, and find beauty in the untamed spirit.
