(CNN Spanish) -

Instagram has apologized for removing the poster from its platform of Pedro Almodóvar's most recent film, "Parallel Mothers."

On Wednesday, August 11, Instagram's parent company Facebook acknowledged in a statement that the decision to remove the image of the movie's poster from the social network was based on its anti-nudity policies.

The poster shows an image of a nursing nipple framed in an oval with a red background that gives it the appearance of being a crying eye.

After the image was removed from their networks, the poster designer, Javier Jaen, criticized Instagram's decision.

The artist wrote: "As expected @instagram has removed the poster we made for Almodóvar's latest movie #madresparalelas. I will post it again. Thanks for sharing."
