Visual artist Andrea Hurtarte is the owner of ANML studio. Superimposing dark lines and watercolour traces, Andrea’s refined and intimate prints will be the perfect complement to any room in your home.

The deconstructed colour palette evokes the human skin and concurrently creates space for a timeless nude body. The work alludes to Kandinsky, Japanese calligraphy, as well as the Wabi-sabi aesthetic, through the simplicity of lines and use of colour that effortlessly define space.
