Raghav Babbar was born in 1997 in Rohtak, India. As a young art student he travelled extensively through Uttarakhand and Sikkim, the Northern states abutting Tibet and the Himalayas, and was profoundly influenced by the area's spirituality, by its people and by his discovery of his own heritage. In 2017 he moved to Singapore where he studied at the prestigious Lasalle College of Art. Two years later he attracted favourable attention participating in a group exhibition at The Institute of Contemporary Art in Singapore, and having deferred his offer to study for an MFA at the Royal College of Art in London, in 2022 he took up his place there. Raghav currently lives and works in London.
