Ashley Ravidas is a San Francisco based painter whose work explores geometry, color, and optical perception. After a decade of working in software consulting, Ashley was pulled to a new direction. As a self taught artist, she found her voice and audience through color and symmetry, and how they intuitively play together in a geometric form to create something that feels known, but also carries movement. Her medium is acrylic paint, creating soft ridges of texture between the gradients, focused on finding the moments of calm in an increasingly hectic world.

Her work draws from the lineage of hard-edge geometric abstraction and minimalism of the 1960’s and 70’s, referencing artists such as Ellsworth Kelly, Frank Stella, and Bridget Riley. Rather than revisiting these histories directly, Ravidas extends them through a contemporary lens. A play on digital vs tactile bodies. 

Ashley has shown work through SAB Gallery, Illumine Gallery, and at fine art fairs nationwide. Ashley was recently accepted as one of the artists for the Hearts in SF installation project, to be viewed in February 2027.
