Enter the Lab Episode 16: Ridhii Paul
[ Story ]
Article
“ENTER THE LAB” is the content series where we showcase the talented, innovative and expressive individuals within our community.
The aim is to connect with the person in front of the camera beyond just the imagery. The approach is both grand, portraying their personalities/uniqueness in a monumental style, while maintaining a personal element, revealing a side of them that viewers have never seen before.
In the hands of Ridhii Paul, a pen is more than a tool, it’s a time machine, a scalpel, a thread weaving texture and memory. Based in Bangalore, Ridhii is a multidisciplinary artist, illustrator, designer, and storyteller whose work exists at the crossroads of cultural reflection and modern expression.
Her visual language is layered, deliberate, and intimate; a quiet rebellion built from ink, paper, and perspective.
Storytelling isn’t about scale. It’s about intention.
With a background in design from the University of the Arts London, Ridhii’s work defies category. Each collage she crafts, each line she draws, feels like a map, charting the contours of identity, tradition, and change. Whether she’s creating for a global brand or sketching in solitude, her style never loses its centre: deeply personal, culturally rooted, and fiercely intentional.
Her portfolio reads like a mixtape of iconic collaborations; Adidas, Nike, New Balance, Comet, MTV, Coffee Day, Tumi, yet her work always feels like her own. No matter the brand or medium, Ridhii’s eye is uncompromising. She blends the boldness of streetwear with the nuance of fine art, building imagery that is not only visually arresting, but emotionally articulate.
In a visual culture that often chases the new, Ridhii offers something rarer: storytelling with depth. Her pieces aren’t built to be scrolled past, they ask you to pause. To notice the detail. To sit with the layers.

In every line, I’m trying to make sense of where I come from and where I’m going.
For us, her work reminds us what creativity can look like when it isn’t diluted, when it’s drawn from something lived-in, something felt. In every stroke, she captures what it means to live between worlds: past and present, local and global, art and design, chaos and clarity.
Ridhii steps into the LAB not to blend in, but to leave her mark; one line, one layer, one story at a time. We celebrate her for exactly that: her bold individualism, and the way she turns identity into art.
