On View at Côrte Real Gallery

International art at a secret Algarve gallery



Enjoy stunning art at Côrte Real Gallery, hidden in the Algarve countryside. A magical world of colour featuring international artists. Spotlight on the work of David Smith and a new collection of paintings.

Côrte Real Gallery is a world apart. Hidden away in the Algarve hills in a charming old quinta, the winding country lanes that take you to the gallery set the scene for what awaits - an intriguing and welcoming world of grace, beauty and colour. Fabulous art adorns the ancient white-washed walls, and hand-made and painted ceramics add pops of colour around the gallery.

The Algarve is often the star of the show here - vibrant colours of sea, sky and sand, depictions of villages and algarve scenes, gorgeous ceramics made by local artists. An aladdin's cave of beautiful items to bring your Algarve home to life.

Autumn Spotlight on David Smith
An exibition of beautiful work showcasing seascapes and light. David is an artist who prefers to paint outdoors and loves the challenge of painting 'en plein air', particularly drawn to painting landscapes,rivers and waterways, capturing  the essence and mood of a scene at that moment in time. His latest collection features scenes from the Algarve west coast.
