About us

Where fine arts and architecture meet through travel

Faro Visual is a creative journey born from two complementary perspectives: the structural eye of an architect and the sensitive soul of a visual artist.

Our perspective

We don't just create souvenirs: we explore territories

We capture the light and translate the true essence of travel into exclusive artistic illustrations. Through an open dialogue between geometric lines, textures and colour, we invite you to discover the islands as you never have before.

Fine Arts Artistic sensitivity, organic textures and washes of colour.
Architecture Spatial vision, geometric precision and the structure of the landscape.
Territory Gran Canaria is our home and the starting point of the archipelago.

The team

Two disciplines, one single work

At Faro Visual the work is the protagonist, above the personal image of its authors. That's why you won't see our faces, but our work.

Our journey

From the island markets to a life devoted to art

Since 2013 the brand has grown step by step, validated by the public at Gran Canaria's art fairs and markets.

2013 The beginnings
We began developing this artistic activity in 2013, alongside our respective professions.
2013 – 2018 Local growth
We gradually expanded the catalogue and validated the brand with the public through constant feedback from Gran Canaria's art and craft fairs.
2018 Commercial expansion
We took the leap to more regular sales in the tourist markets of the south of the island, with a very warm welcome from international, national and local visitors.
2021 – today Our Ikigai
After the pandemic we left our employed jobs to dedicate ourselves 100% to Faro Visual: the convergence between what we love, art and the territory, and what we are experts in, architecture and fine arts.

Our ambassador, the Garafiano Shepherd Dog

Present from day one, he accompanies us on every field expedition. He represents the loyalty, constancy and evolution of the brand, and he is the one who brings the Logbook to life. As a breed native to the islands, he embodies our connection with the land and its authenticity.
