Apeksha Lal is an South Asian artist based in New York City. She graduated with BFA in Illustration at Parsons School of Design in May 2025, and is currently pursuing an MFA in Illustration at Rhode Island School of Design.

Apeksha draws inspiration from her experiences as a first-generation immigrant and her cultural heritage, but also gothic horror, vampires and fantasy. Much of her illustration practice involves combining all her different interests into cohesive visual projects that feel authentic to her. Most of her work is painting, relief printmaking or digital illustration, but she also loves to experiment with other mediums.
