Rica Belna
Rica Belna is an Austrian artist based in Berlin since 1993, known for her large-scale photographic artworks that transform spaces and create expansive, inviting atmospheres.

Her works, some reaching up to 25 meters in length, have been showcased in luxury hotels, office buildings, wellness resorts, and healthcare facilities worldwide.
Rica’s art is inspired by the small, often overlooked details of the world, such as weathered textures or the play of light on water. These moments evoke emotions and ideas, guiding her creative process, which balances meticulous planning with spontaneous experimentation. Her large-format pieces are designed to enrich environments, whether as decorative wall art, sound-absorbing panels, or eye-catching room dividers. With over 1500 designs in her portfolio, Rica’s work spans a range of styles, from classic mosaic-inspired motifs to modern abstract compositions.
Rica’s art aims to foster relaxation, energy, and a sense of openness. Each piece is carefully tailored to fit the specific space, enhancing the mood and function of places such as hotels, offices, and homes. Through her work, she invites viewers to engage with the space in a meaningful way, creating positive, thought-provoking experiences.
