Alongside his art practice, Raghunath has worked professionally as an art director in advertising, contributing to campaigns for international brands at agencies including HAVAS and Leo Burnett. His background spans both fine art and commercial practice, positioning him across disciplines of contemporary art and visual communication.
Divyam's art practice explores how urban environments subtly shape emotional life, with a focus on how built space influences movement, perception and belonging. Having grown up in a small town in India and later lived in Singapore and London, his work often navigates tensions between warmth and detachment, vibrancy and sterility. These shifts across geographies, cultures and emotional landscapes form a central foundation of his practice.
The sky plays a recurring role in his visual language. He approaches it as a shared, open plane that, within contemporary cities, becomes fragmented by architecture, filtered through glass and constrained by vertical ambition. His work frequently reorients perspective, inviting viewers to look up, down or through, and to experience space as unstable and mediated. Raghunath considers architecture not only as physical structure but as emotional infrastructure carrying memory, aspiration and erasure.
Influenced by psychogeography and hyperreality, he focuses on intimate and fragmented moments rather than monumentality. Through distortion, softness and spatial ambiguity, his work seeks to reclaim emotional presence within the built environment, where identity shifts, visibility changes and even the sky must be rediscovered.
