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.”

The exhibition Bianca Raffaella: Between Heartbeats will open at The Art Academy in London in late February 2026, marking Raffaella’s award as the Overall Winner of the 2025 Women in Art Prize, presented in September 2025 in London.
