Tenerife attractions' art shopping is even found by Tenerife beaches.

Tenerife art collage aquarel by Anand Rubai

Tenerife attractions for art shopping (Tenerife attracciones por compra de arte) are indeed countless. Art browsing and art investment are part of them. So is art production on the whole island.

The places where people paint and produce are often amazing. Tenerife attractions for art shopping don't just come by means of galleries or, by a 'vernissage'(exhibition).

Art can often be purchased from private people like Anand Rubai who simply work from home and produce Tenerife art such as this collage aquarel Tenerife whose beauty of collage layers with Tenerife bark and all kinds of other natural materials found on the island couldn't be reproduced in the graphic shown.

The volcanic and warm Island Tenerife is ideal to get energy and inspiration.

I know of 6 foreign painters in Tenerife who all swear that the island gives them not only more ideas but, also more stamina and health to go on with creating art as Tenerife attractions.

They also believe that living is cheaper for them on the biggest of all Canary Islands.

Artists being Tenerife attractions whose addresses I know are:

  • Julio Puentes
    (famous people portrait and carricature painter)
    Meet or watch Julio Puente working in open air in street not indoors in
    winter in day time, summer at night time on
    Paseo San Telmo (next to Lido Lago Martianez)
    Puerto de la Cruz
    Tenerife Spain

Click for translation into English of Site Julio Puentes with video to see how people live portrait is done.

Life is truly amazing:

I only just discovered after 8 years in Tenerife that Julio Puente is the husband of a Spanish lady neighbor of mine I have been talking to whenever I meet her in my street. Reason being that I never knew that her husband Julio Puentes is one of famous Tenerife attractions for art shopping is because, I normally don't poke my nose into people's private and in this case business affairs.

I like my friends for what they are and not for the business they are involved in.

Don't be shy and contact me for anything related to art shopping Tenerife attractions! Perhaps, we can help.

    street painter at San Telmo Puerto de la Cruz Tenerife

    Tenerife attractions Puerto de la Cruz cause art shopping:

    Paseo San Telmo Puerto de la Cruz usually has its portrait street painters right by the beach front. They do YOU or your doggy while sitting in the open with a makeshift stall that protects against the sun while busy with pencil and brush. Others
    do caricatures or, landscapes, there.

    Some Peruvians who are dressed the part play Inca music with flutes in Puerto de la Cruz. They have relevant CDs with their music art work on a table to sell it.

    The Peruvian musicians in Puerto Cruz are an attractive and popular Tenerife attraction.

    Some African men sometimes offer wooden sculptures in the same spot. It could be art; it's hard to say how original those things are.

    Art shopping in any odd place:

    You stumble upon Tenerife attractions for art shopping in ports, in forests and by Mount Teide. The artists often prefer the Canary Island open air studio to an indoor atelier as an attraction for art selling.

    If you like what they produce you ask for their phone number. The art shopping is always welcome later just as well.

    Painter on Playa Jardin Tenerife Some time ago, I saw a young German guy at Playa Jardin on the beach park promenade next to the bistro for hungry beach combers.

    He was sitting on a bench drawing and painting water color landscapes of his surroundings.

    He looked so happy.

    2o works by him were lined
    up by the wall on the ground.

    They were only DINA4 which
    made them fit into cheap protecting see through plastic covers.

    He sold each aquarel for EU 10 which is a give away.

    They were not prints, by the way.

    Please, mind, that he might only be one of Tenerife attractions for art shopping in winter. Summers in his native northern Europe serve him for selling his art work just as well.

    Then there's this other German Tenerife beach lover who makes astounding sculptures of black beach sand. His hat on the floor begs for a donation.

    Perhaps he'd come to your holiday home. He might do a sculpture for you out of other material. Just ask...

    License needed for Tenerife attractions art:

    In April 2008 a beach artist was confronted by a Guardia Civil (patroling police man) on Playa Jardin.

    He said a license was needed to sell there. He told the lady artist if he would find her again on this spot offering her works she would be fined EU 90. She pointed out to him how happy passing tourists were seeing her displays. He said that he enjoyed them as well as attractions for the beach but, that the law was the law.

    She is expected to be back on Playa Jardin anyway disregarding the license threat because, she is seeing herself as one of Tenerife attractions for art shopping.

    Attractions for art shopping in cafés:

    There are cafés too that offer exhibits in Tenerife. One was in la Paz/'PuertoCruz'. It was too big, the rent too high. It closed.

    Even doctors' rooms have been part of Tenerife attractions for art shopping for quite a while.

    However, there is
    Café Bar Teatro in Puerto de la Cruz
    opposite Hotel Banbi
    Calle Iriarte
    open 10a.m.to 2 a.m.

    Artists which are Tenerife attractions are seen at Café Bar Teatro.

    One of the Italian painters I knew is exhibiting modern art permanently in a big Santa Cruz museum.

    I only remember him as Alberto and lost his homepage url with a PC crash.

    A nice way to get known... Isn't it?

    Carlo Forte an Italian painter Tel.: + 34 922 72 52 74 offers theme holidays on his finca (rural villa) where he teaches young and old.He sells his art there as well.

    Attractions for art shopping at lower prices:

    Everybody that paints artwork or does paintings in Tenerife will confirm that prices here are much lower than in world cities that are known for the culture of art.

    A good oil painting that will fetch Eu 1000 can be bought here in the region of EU 600 to EU 800. So much to Tenerife attractions caused by art.

    Hence, Tenerife is interesting for the real art insider, for the for the art collector or, for art investment...

    The best known Tenerife art galleries for shopping art are:

    Finca del Arte Chayofa (by Los Gigantes)

    It sells you meals and coffee and cake under a large tree, as well. A peaceful, rural setting...

    When you stroll through the oldest resort Puerto de la Cruz you will find a few galleries a few steps from the main hub Plaza de Charco. One is in Calle Quintana (sorry, it's been closed) by the old Hotel La Marqueza.

    Try negotiate a price. I have seen other tiny shops selling paintings and drawings. They are hidden all over the town.

    Art on Tenerife flea markets:

    Although flea Market de Nuestra Señora de África in Santa Cruz Tenerife is definitely one of Tenerife attractions for its sheer size alone flea markets are not the best source for art shopping.

    You might be lucky with a framed old painting, though. You never know what you may find.

    But, you must be real early for that. Best before 9 am in Santa Cruz, Avda.José Manuel Guimera. Sundays only. It closes by 2p.m. A reasonably good piece of art would disappear on the double.

    No contemporary good art producer will sell on flee markets. Shoppers there normally negotiate prices too much.

    As a last note it remains to say that paintings and drawings are mostly offered in Tenerife. Other artwork is rare.

    Handy crafts are a different field, although, I saw exceptional works at the shop El Limonero bordering on art.

    More attractive art galleries and art studios may be found by going from Tenerife attractions to Puerto de la Cruz where art can be bought.

    Tenerife Art material and accessories:

    To support Tenerife attractions for art shopping which you might want to produce yourself the following shops are a must know:

    Puerto de la Cruz also has a good art odds and bits supply shop at corner Calle Mazarocco and Calle Vieja. An other such facility is at La Villa Al Campo Mall La Orotava to be seen from TF 5 (exit la Villa) at a shop straight opposite Al Campo supermarket.
    Both shops are also equipped with large photo copy equipment suitable for some larger drawings and paintings.

    Le Roy Merlin Megashop La Orotava opposite the same center sells you frames and/or frames for you at reasonable prices.
