Rio Drop lives and works in Örebro, Sweden. She obtained her Bachelor of Art from the Royal Academy of Fine Art The Hague in 2022 and teaches art theory at Örebro Art College. Her work has been exhibited internationally in Sweden, The Netherlands, Portugal and Turkey and has been collected by Örebro Läns Museum and the municipality of  Örebro. 

Rio Drop’s practice focuses on reclamation women’s presence in public space, loss and resilience, and expectations placed upon womanhood. Extending over different media, most frequently assemblage, sculpture, installation, and video, human hair is a recurring material and subject. Her work emerges from concept, letting materiality follow after this. Valuing the use of real objects over the representation of it for its ability to connect to lived experience, she incorporates pre-existing objects into her work.
