Sonal Agarwal

I’m Sonal Agarwal, the artist behind Abstract by Sonal — a Melbourne‑based creative practice shaped by my deep love for expressive colour. My work is known for its vibrant palettes and textured layers, often inspired by botanical forms and coastal forms but never confined to them.
Colour is the heart of my practice. Whether I’m painting abstract botanicals, exploring organic shapes, or following a completely intuitive direction, my focus is always on creating pieces that radiate joy, movement, and emotional energy. I work primarily with high‑quality acrylics and texture paste to build depth, dimension, and a sense of tactile richness.
In 2025, I was honoured to be named a finalist in both the Feel Good Art Prize and the Revival Emerging Artist Award — milestones that reflect my evolving journey as a contemporary artist.
Through Abstract by Sonal, I continue to explore the limitless possibilities of colour and form, allowing each artwork to unfold naturally and inviting viewers into a world where intuition, nature, and imagination meet.
