About This Collection

Hand-painted abstract art
designed in Aotearoa

The Ariā Collection at Willa Black Prints brings hand-painted texture together with digital design to explore concepts from te ao Māori — ideas like Mauri, Whakapapa, Marama, and Te Ara. Each piece pairs geometric form with painterly brushwork, so the finished print carries both the precision of digital design and the warmth of something made by hand.

Te Ara — The Journey opens the collection. A hand-painted terracotta arc and a hand-painted teal arc are joined by one unbroken woven line, exploring whakapapa and the enduring connection between ancestors, whenua and generations to come.

All prints are designed in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland and produced on archival fine art paper, printed to order. Ships to New Zealand, Australia and worldwide.
