Mohit Bhardwaj
Mohit Bhardwaj
Mohit Bhardwaj is a Delhi-based contemporary artist with nearly two decades of artistic practice. His work explores Indian mythology, folk-inspired visual traditions, spiritual symbolism, and cultural narratives through painting, mixed media, and glass-based artworks.
His artistic practice is distinguished by two major areas of exploration: the Nandi Series, inspired by Indian mythology and spiritual symbolism, and his unique Mirror & Glass Etching works, where he combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary expression.
Through vibrant colours, intricate detailing, symbolic forms, and experimental techniques, Mohit creates artworks that connect India's rich cultural heritage with a contemporary visual language.
