Ria Unson specializes in contemporary semi-abstract impressionist narrative paintings. She offers fine art paintings drawing light from shadow. Ria's process combines oil and acrylic layered over vintage ephemera, approaching art as a portal that brings together past, present, and future. Even her textured still lifes and landscapes honor the stories held within their subjects.Â
Ria works with collectors to create commissioned heirloom portrait art, what she calls Time Capsule Portraits. This narrative story portraiture on canvas or wood panel tells the story of its subject by incorporating image transfers and ephemera into the work to create a truly bespoke heirloom piece. Ria has limited times on her studio calendar for commissions. Collectors can reserve a spot on the Commissions page or by joining the waitlist if the spots are already booked.
Yes, Ria's  original fine art  of semi-abstract impressionistic still lifes and landscape are on wood panels or canvases and are perfectly suited for luxury homes, high-end residential interiors, and private collections.
