Olá! We are Truus and Jonathan, the yin & yang of Amaré Amaré.

Truus is a self-taught block printer with a passion for pure natural linen and ethnic art. She prints sea creatures in colourful, repetitive patterns.

Jonathan is a black & white film photographer who develops and prints his evocative, timeless images in the darkroom.

As you’ll see, we love the sea.

In addition to being home for us, our two dogs and our parrot, Amaré Amaré is home to our block-printing and film photography studio. And once renovations are complete, the beautiful loft will be a warm and inviting place for you to come and stay.

We’d love you to follow our progress on Instagram or register for email updates.

In case you’re wondering about our name, it comes from the phrase Eu vou à maré (I’m going to the tide), which local fishermen often use when they go out to sea.
