Lakshya Bhargava

Lakshya Bhargava is a painter whose work explores what it means to care, to love, and to be human. Through painting, he searches for a sense of home. Portraying those he holds close becomes an act of gratitude — a way to honour chosen family, creating space for comfort and intimacy.
