Ria's paintings hit you with this incredible energy – bold geometric forms and vibrant acrylics that somehow feel both structured and deeply personal. She weaves together her background in civil engineering with cubist abstraction, layering in Indian textiles and threads to create work that's about home, heritage, and belonging. Her art invites you to find yourself in the colors and shapes, no matter where you're from.
