Working from memory and sensory cues rather than direct observation, Bianca Raffaella (b. 1992) is a British artist and activist. As a partially sighted artist, her ephemeral floral and figurative works draw viewers into her world by capturing fleeting moments suspended in "persistent vision," where her sight is in constant motion, and images appear only briefly as faint shadows or flickers of light. Raffaella's ongoing series of textural flower paintings evoke the artist's experience of beauty in braille, which was how she first learned to read and write.
In 2025, Bianca Raffaella was Overall Winner of the Women in Art Prize, in addition to being recipient of the Women in Art Printing Prize.
