Description
The Women series presents a limited edition of 30 × 30 cm giclée artworks developed from original sumi-e ink compositions by Yano Yoro.
Each piece begins as a hand-painted work on rice paper. The artist then digitally reinterprets the composition, developing a final version specifically conceived for the edition. The result is a distinct artwork in its own right, rather than a direct reproduction of the original.
Printed on 230 gsm laid paper using a seven-ink process, each work preserves the subtle tonal variations and delicate qualities of the original brushwork.
Each artwork is released in a limited edition of 50, individually numbered and signed by the artist, plus two artist’s proofs.
The series explores a quiet, introspective vision of femininity through minimal gestures, fluid lines and the considered use of empty space. Rooted in the tradition of sumi-e, each brushstroke is guided by posture, breath and concentration, allowing precision and spontaneity to coexist.
These works bring a sense of calm and quiet presence to an interior. Their restrained aesthetic works particularly well in minimal, contemporary and Japandi interiors, either as a standalone piece or combined with other works from the series.
A QUIETER WAY OF LIVING WITH SPANISH ART
Selected by Belma Craft & Art
At Belma, we curate pieces where material, process and artistic language come together with clarity. We selected the Women Series for its balance between tradition and contemporary expression, reflecting a practice where gesture, material and restraint define the final piece.
Its quiet presence and versatility make it particularly suited to interiors that value subtlety, texture and a considered use of art. Yano Yoro’s practice also extends beyond the finished work, offering the possibility to engage more closely with her process through workshops and direct contact with the artist.
A personal note
One of the first works by Yano Yoro that I brought to the Netherlands became a birthday gift for my friend Carmen.
Rocío and I chose it knowing how much she loves art and nature. It found its place in her bedroom, where she could enjoy it every day. She tells us that the work brings her a sense of beauty and calm and, most importantly, reminds her how much we love her.
A personal example of how a work of art can become a gift with a meaning of its own.

The advice of Belma Craft & Art
Place the work somewhere you can enjoy it every day, whether in a bedroom, a quiet corner or a more intimate area of the home. Natural light enhances the subtlety of the ink and its tonal variations, while avoiding direct sunlight helps preserve the piece. Complement it with simple elements such as flowers, ceramics or natural materials, allowing the work to remain the focal point.
