Ria Bosman (b. 1956, Belgium) is a Ghent-based artist whose minimalist textile work investigates the relationship between color, geometry, and texture. Bosman works with hand-painted strips of natural fiber, creating abstract compositions that investigate color, line, and material presence. With a background in dyeing and weaving, her practice blends technical precision with intuitive, contemplative decision-making. Rooted in a deep sensitivity to tone and form, Bosman’s work evokes a quiet spiritual resonance, aiming to create a space for stillness, balance, and emotional reflection. Bosman studied Monumental Art at the Higher Institute for Visual Arts, Sint-Lucas, Ghent. She continued her arts education in 1983, studying Artificial Weaving at the Institute for Textile Henry Story, Ghent. She is widely exhibited in Belgium and has been awarded the Provincial Award East-Flanders for Textile and Weaving Art from the Museum for Decorative Art, Ghent, BE. Her work is represented in private & public collections worldwide, including the S.M.A.K. Museum of Contemporary Art Ghent & the Juan Carlos Maldonado Collection, Miami (US). She is represented by Tatjana Pieters Gallery in Ghent, Belgium.
