Comme dans mes rêves…
@rithikamerchant 🌟🕯️🙏

Rithika Merchant is a visual artist from Bombay (Mumbai), India.

¿Cuántas voces constituyen nuestra conciencia?
¿Cuántas partes de mí coexisten a la vez?
¿Quién soy?

Infinitas miradas y enfoques.

¿Qué parte de mí deseo proyectar en este mundo, en este día?
¿Qué tan consciente soy de las infinitas voces que me conforman?
¿Cuál quiero y decido ser en este momento?

Camaleónica e infinita.

Volver a mi autoridad es recordar que ese poder existe dentro de mí. Solo debo escuchar y crear el espacio suficiente para volver a esa visión que me devuelve la libertad de elegir.

[ON VIEW] ‘The Dreaming Realm’ by @rithikamerchant is on view thru November 21, 2026.

📷 THE BRIDGE, 2026, 100x75cm.
Rithika Merchant’s latest works are part of her ongoing series ‘Interspecies Care’, and expand her iconography with new motifs. Here the central pattern takes on the appearance of bismuth, a metal that forms spectacular staircase-shaped crystals with iridescent colors as it cools. Rithika Merchant uses it as a gateway symbolizing the spiritual evolution of her "beings", acting as a link between the physical and astral worlds.

Wishing we could teleport to Paris to see Rithika Merchant’s latest solo exhibition, “The Dreaming Realm,” opening TODAY at @galerielj! ✨

I’ve long admired Rithika’s ability to imagine worlds informed by mythology and the natural world. In this new body of work, she turns to biomimicry, envisioning architectural forms inspired by plants and organic systems.

Her intricate paintings invite us to consider how we might live differently, drawing lessons from nature about interdependence and reciprocity.

Congratulations, Rithika! 💛

Working as dancer for many years, Pauline was always deeply moved by sound and music physically and energetically.
Yoga is not something you do, but especially something that is experienced.
Together they love creating atmospheres through sound that words cannot fully describe.

From the gross to the subtle.
From the many to the One.”

One side features the artwork, while the other includes an essay by Ranjit Hoskote and Rithika’s biography.
The titles are printed in a vibrant red, drawing from the artist’s use of red as an accent in her work.
