Here we can smell the wood...

Saturday, 15 August, 2015

 

There are things that you can't learn at school... Things that are in our blood! You can ask Juan, our undisputed artist, who has more work with the wood that you can imagine.

And every sunday he brings us his wonders to our Agro-Craft Market!

If there is something that Juan loves, is spend hours in his studio. Between woods of all kinds, varnishes, gouges of all shapes and sizes...this craftsman is immersed in his studio to create. And what is the center of his inspiration? The island that saw him grow: Fuerteventura.

That's the main reason why his works are aimed to represent our island, its neighbors, and all that is representative for them. You'll find from little keychains with the name of the island carved, to huge painting with all the islands. But also, the mills and traditional items of the island make him lose the grip... ¡and he makes it in different sizes!

There's no challenge that Juan doesn't dare to assume. Now he dares also to paint! But not on a canvas or paper... that would be too conventional for such a creative soul! He prefers painting representative landscapes of Fuerteventura on an ostrich's egg!

As we say you... Juan is one of our craftsmen and is here since our beginning, sharing every Sunday with us. But you can find other craftsmen in our Agro-Craft Market of Fuerteventura which open the doors once a week in Oasis Park Fuerteventura!
