My Artistic Journey
My wonderful family
I am Erwin, a Dutch former visistor and now proud resident and member of the community of Olhos de Água. I took my family here in 2023 because I had a dream: living in our happy place, the most beautiful village in the world, while spreading the love of this place with my craftmanship throughout the world by delivering the most beautiful, unique and different souvenirs to our visitors.
I find joy in making unique pieces of decoration and jewellery, crafted with love, inspired by the Algarve and the happiness everyone feels when they are here in Olhos de Água. Almost everything in our shop is handmade and if it's not by me it's by a local artisan.
I use wood, the iconic colours of the village and inspiration from the Portugal traditions and culture for my creations.

Alexia
Alexia is 10 years old and loves that her parents have a store in Olhos de Água. Besides her hobbies, such as playing the piano and gymnastics, she enjoys helping out in the store. Alexia is very creative and loves designing and making her own jewelry. With help from Erwin, Alexia's creations are often available for sale in the store. For example, here’s a photo of earrings created by Alexia.
Anouk
Anouk is 5 years old and thinks life here in Portugal is one big party, enjoying every day to the fullest. Her biggest passion is horses. She often plays in the playground next to the store, but she also loves helping out in the shop, especially with making the famous fisherman's houses. Just like her big sister, Anouk also wants to make and sell earrings. Here's a photo of her very first design, which she made herself. Unfortunately, they're not for sale right now because they were sold within 45 minutes! Anouk is so proud of that.
