Willa Black Prints — Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland

Hand-painted texture.
Concepts from te ao Māori.

Every print in The Ariā Collection is designed in Aotearoa, combining hand-painted artwork with digital design.

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.

The collection is growing steadily, with new pieces added over time — each one exploring a different concept from te ao Māori through hand-painted, geometric abstraction.

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.
