Normalize Not Fitting In Part 1 Artwork

Born out of necessity, art is my compass through the unpredictable landscape of my mind. With a bold, saturated palette and playful motifs, my art juxtaposes the resilience of women against the backdrop of mental health challenges and broken societal constructs. Ragni Agarwal, an Indian-American artist in Los Angeles, brings a vibrant narrative of inclusivity and empowerment to contemporary art. With a bold, saturated palette and playful motifs, Agarwal masterfully juxtaposes the resilience of women against the backdrop of mental health challenges and broken societal constructs. Agarwal’s own experience is at the core of her inspiration. As a child, Ragni suffered from social anxiety, which led her to art to create her own colorful worlds to get lost in. It is this journey that infuses her creations with a unique power – celebrating the beauty of neurodiversity and the power found in forging your own path. Spanning over two decades, Agarwal's multidisciplinary portfolio—encompassing graphic design, fine art, and experiential design—showcases her versatility and ability to bridge art and culture with calls for social change. She has collaborated with notable brands like Hulu, always, Bombay Sapphire, and more. Ragni’s work has also been featured in multiple group and individual shows at various local galleries. Agarwal's work is rooted in her own traditions and heritage. Her studio, RAD, aims to challenge the narratives of the past in favor of a more inclusive future.
