Aksh Diwan Garg (born: October 2001) is a visual artist from New Delhi, India. He
renders oil and acrylic in dense, bold strokes, using vivid and rich tones. These artisticchoices combine to bring focus to his paintings' narrative: Semi-autobiographical self-portraits, in gender neutral personas, depicted in scenarios imagined through his life experiences.

Garg's sensitive portrayal of human postures, facial expressions and hand gestures brings his figurative characters to life. Styled in strong and groovy attires, hairstyles and jewellery, they flaunt their identity with sensuality. They are unmistakably fearless and independent, each asserting a rightful place in society. The characters and the domains they inhabit are born of Garg's observations of his milieu, and are expressed with flourishes of his own beliefs, personality, fantasies and story-telling. Being in this reverie connects Garg to his inner psyche, and liberates him to depict the beautifully ambiguous brown culture as he perceives it. Garg, who also practises film-making and photography, has done Bachelor in fine arts from College of Art, New Delhi and is a current resident artist at Space studio, Baroda.
