Bianca Raffaella: See What She Can See In the Studio
Featured on BBC World Service is IN THE STUDIO Bianca Raffaella: See What She Can See, an inspiring in-depth profile on Bianca Raffaella by Sahar Zand.
“In the final weeks of her pregnancy, Bianca begins a new body of work for a major solo exhibition, documenting motherhood for the first time. With limited time and a body in flux, the unique way she paints comes into focus — offering a rare glimpse into what she calls her “layers of vision”: how she perceives, interprets, and translates the visual world onto canvas. Documentary maker Sahar Zand follows Bianca through the creation of a single painting, capturing a moment where vision, pregnancy, and time briefly align on the canvas — and where a life shaped by adversity becomes a powerful act of seeing.”
Bianca Raffaella will open an exhibition at The Art Academy in London in late February 2026, marking Raffaella’s awards of Overall Winner of the 2025 Women in Art Prize and the Women in Art Printing Prize, presented in September 2025 in London.
