Riana Holley

Riana Holley is a contemporary visual artist based in Belgium, known for her evocative exploration of color, texture, and form across painting and mixed-media works. Born in 1988 in Brussels, Holley developed a passion for art early in life, attending the Royal Academy of Fine Arts where she immersed herself in both traditional and experimental techniques. Her artistic practice is deeply influenced by the shifting urban landscapes of Belgium and her fascination with the interplay between human emotion and the natural world.

Holley’s dynamic compositions often feature layered materials and gestural brushwork, inviting viewers to engage with the physicality of her process while reflecting on themes of identity, memory, and transformation. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions throughout Europe, and she is the recipient of several emerging artist awards. Holley continues to live and work in Antwerp, where she maintains an active studio practice and regularly participates in collaborative art initiatives within the local community.
