Ayuesh Agarwal (b.1991, Hyderabad) is a contemporary figurative artist exploring the relationship between inner life, consciousness and the spaces we inhabit.

His artistic journey began through an interest in visual storytelling in movies and games. He went on to study at the Florence Academy of Art, the Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art, and the Barcelona Academy of Art. Although initially interested in entertainment design, he found himself increasingly drawn to painting and the physicality of the medium.

His work has been exhibited internationally, including at Sotheby's, New York, and is held in the permanent collections of the European Museum of Modern Art (MEAM), Barcelona, and the Art Renewal Center, New York. His achievements include multiple awards from the Art Renewal Centre, the Gold Medal from the Art Society of India, and the Portrait Society of America Excellence Award.

Three of his works are selected for the Lunar Codex project headed for the moon.

Community-minded, he founded the Samsara Academy of Art in 2019 to promote classical art methods as valuable tools and to help others reach their artistic goals.
