“Understanding Sunk Beneath the Horizon” by Bissy Riva

“Understanding Sunk Beneath the Horizon” by Bissy Riva was first shown at the opening of Doll House in Philadelphia. It is an oil on canvas original contemporary painting measuring 24 inches wide by 30 inches high by 1 1/4 inch deep.

I began my career in the arts with an early passion for painting, producing commissioned abstract oil and acrylic works.
