Bissy Riva (b. 1995) is an American painter based in London. She received her MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art in 2025, following a BFA in Textiles from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2018. Drawing on her background in textile design, Riva incorporates pattern, colour, and material experimentation into her oil paintings to explore the unseen structures and rhythms that shape the natural world. Through layered abstraction, her work investigates ecological interconnectedness, transforming hidden systems into immersive, meditative compositions. Riva has exhibited internationally across London, Kenya, and the United States.
