GAP is about art. The art of giving value to any substrate and transforming any space into a stunning interior.
We are inspired by images and we play with great imagery to create fabulous wall art. We discover and curate vintage photography, classic paintings or impressive illustrations and we print them on different basic substrates such as canvas, paper, wood or glass. But after all, it’s not only about the prints. Our goal is to create amazing pieces of wall art that can live by itself or can be a part of a gorgeous interior decoration.
