Harshi
Agarwal

Harshi Agarwal is a passionate and visionary artist whose creative journey is fuelled by a deep connection with the world around her. Specialising in pen and ink (quill/dip pen), she is among the few artists in the country adept in this intricate medium.

Her artistic style seamlessly blends abstract realism and impressionism, drawing inspiration from childhood memories and a profound love for elephants. Her work carries the emotional weight of memory — every line, a lived moment; every composition, a story waiting to unfold.

To enhance the authenticity and aesthetics of her work, she recently conducted a real-life photoshoot featuring an elephant and the girl, bringing her paintings to life with enriched inspiration. Each piece in the series is a meditation on innocence, scale, and the sacred bond between humans and nature.

Beyond traditional art forms, Harshi is deeply involved in graphic design and digital media. She leads a 360-degree creative agency that caters to every creative need of a brand — including branding, artwork, and interior design. Her versatility extends to mural art, as evidenced by her landmark project with OYO, where she transformed an entire building — including the founder Ritesh Agarwal's house — reimagining hospitality through art.

In 2022, she took her passion for wildlife conservation to the streets by doodling her entire car with a theme of harmony between humans and nature, demonstrating her dedication to promoting coexistence through art. Harshi's multifaceted expertise and visionary approach continue to leave a significant impact on the art world and beyond.

Her talent has been recognised with several accolades and awards, and her work has been showcased in esteemed galleries and art events. Through exhibitions — both solo and group — she continues to build a body of work that is at once deeply personal and universally resonant.
