Stone & Wood master craftsman. When Soren moved to Portugal in 1990 he discovered the lighter side of his craft with the easy
availability of limestone and marble, which made it possible to work more filigrane and added colour to the stone.

A self-taught and inherently detailed artist, and this comes through in her work, currently experimenting with using a palette knife, it offers more freedom that comes with this technique, as well as the texture, and it allows to build layers. With no definite subject matter Samantha tends to paint what she finds Inspiration in.

A self taught artist living and working in the Algarve drawing inspiration from the wonderful light and colours that are unique to the area . Mainly working in watercolour although branching into paint in acrylics. Exhibited at many events both in UK and in Portugal
Mary Porter style includes Handmade Tapestries using up-cycled materials, such as denim, cotton, tweed, hessian and wool.
Using a unique technique, the wool strands are overlaid onto layers of material, to create subtle shades of colour. Every detail of the artwork is hand stitched, a process Mary describes as mediative.
The Earth, Sea & Sky Series, is inspired by the beautiful natural environment of the Algarve.

Liz Allen is an artist from the UK. She moved to the Monchique area of
the Algarve in 2005 and this is where her present style of painting
evolved, Her work begins with a cartoon like drawing which is a direct and spontaneous response to her subject. Liz’s particular use of colour, line and pattern make her work stand out as her own characteristically original and unique work.

Else's work is strong and powerful coloured, mostly abstract and filled with forms, rhythms and motifs that come from several cultures. I like to work with an emotional tension that reflects my passion. My paintings tell a story, hide a secret or just reflect inner landscapes and the mystery of life in an alternative way

Kasia uses the mediums of drawing, painting, graphic design and video installations to showcase her talent. Through these various techniques, the natural elements of earth, air, fire, water and space are revealed as her principal inspiration. paintings are a combination of abstract, colourful forms with realistic elements. Often painted on large mdf formats or smaller canvas. Some of them have a UV effect.

Caroline remains inspired by the beautiful countryside that surrounds her home near Espiche where an authentic old building houses her studio. Her work captures the clarity of light and colour that is unique to the Algarve and there is a definitive, signature freshness that characterises every piece.


Lea's work materials of choice are mainly acrylic on canvas. The paintings can be classified as abstract expressionism and are given depth by the choice as well as the layering of colours. The paintings are usually inspired by nature themes and emotions. As part of a commission project, Lea recently has started to work on abstract woman paintings too.
