EXTREME ANIMALS - Our Story: How everything started.

LOGOweb
EA1web1998 – on Fuerteventura, at the edge of Corralejo, in a screen print factory, starts the big premiere of „EXTREME ANIMALS". For the first time Helga Palmers and Helmut Brittig create what is still today „Extreme": Extreme honest handcraft, extreme good quality and extremely fine products from the „Fuerteventura Factory", inspired by the idea to create a very extraordinary look: the Goat Skeleton.

 

The "Cabrito Fuerteventura" Goat:

"probably the best known goat of the island".


image006webThe first steps of selling goat-based products date from the 1999's. At that time we used to purchase our products from a good friend. Already at the very start the philosophy of selling the goat-based products was to offer a souvenir from Fuerteventura at an acceptable price and with a steady and proven quality.

Klaus Berends – an artist with commitment.

Klaus-Berends-720540-Klaus Berends is an artist who combines in his work (and even more in his personal attitude) four major elements which allow him to discover the right orientation of creativity: curiosity, observation, experimenting and imagination. Berends is creative on different media, although he combines some techniques because each of them alone sometimes are coming too short to answer his creative restlessness.

 

nuria-fotoName: Nuria del Pino

Nationality: Spanish

Date of Birth: 8 October

Place of Birth: Madrid

Education: arts

Time on Fuerteventura: since 1975

Nuria Del Pino came to the Canary Islands at the age of six but spent her time in various cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, London and Boston where she completed her studies. From there she developed her love for art in all its forms. She studied cinematography, design, sculpture and photography…although it’s in her painting that she finds her best outlet of expression.


She uses materials like oil, aquarelle and Chinese ink on canvas, paper or hardboard. "I use different techniques and materials like for instance I prefer to use acrylic on canvas for quick and intuitive and oil-based paint for more detailed work. On paper I like to use Chinese ink because of its strength, even when applying only one stroke. More recently I use copper and steel wire, combined with wood to express emotions through pure and simple lines. And I am at the point of making a couple of bronze statues."

"Fuerteventura with its landscapes, colours, contrasts and tranquillity is a source of inspiration for my work. With its immense seas and skies, its limitless space, its endless horizons and its tranquillity... while also referring to that other ‘landscape’, the landscape of the soul that we all bear within us, that we all want to reach… where we find peace. My painting, like all creative work, is connected to the spiritual, to that part of me that is connected to everything and to which we gain access when we leave the rationale to aside and allow ourselves to be guided by our intuition.”

Nuria currently lives in Fuerteventura where she has opened an art gallery in Corralejo (Map I 22, opposite the municipal sports hall. Open: 10-14 & 17-20h.).

fotO_perfil_FILTROJosé Losada.

José Losada came on to Fuerteventura in 2008 from mainland Spain. The hairdresser immediately was caught by the dramatic and spectacular scenes that Fuerteventura offered: the west coast, the beaches, sunset, the "malpais" and the abundant volcanoes. He was fascinated by the vast variety of colours of the beaches and started to collect sand. Some sand types are the most white on the entire Canary Islands, some are pitch-black with a blue hue and some even have a golden colour.

Murphy B Good - Freedom and Connection by Music...

Cotillo--Murphy-291Murphy's exploration to music starts at the age of 5 with his first guitar. Already at that age he sensed a feeling that he later recognised as truly freedom - of mind and emotions. His curiosity guided him into a journey to develop his own perception and expression of emotions through the music. The ability to listen is crucial to him and his creativity. His music is very recognisable and has much to do with a jazzy chilling out and relaxing with a funky touch. His influences are Miles Davis, Jimmy Hendrix, Prince, Johnny Guitar Watson and many more.

Hiking trough Fuerteventura - by Eva Walder.

hiking-wallpaper2-1280x1024Eva Walder from Austria knows Fuerteventura since a long time but was eager to discover the island in a more intensive way, by hiking. She chose to walk for most of the time along the new hiking track, constructed by the local government, named “Camino Natural de Corralejo a Punta de Jandía”, also known under GR 131.

Fine French Pastries: La Folie des Délices in Corralejo.

La-Folie-des-Delices-085Philippe Laurent, a certified "Art Chef Pastry" from Annecy, France and Vanessa started their French pastry business on the Corralejo circumvention in March 2010. Since then the business grew steadily, despite the actually unfavourable economic conditions.

Philippe's story, in fact, starts in 1920, the year in which his grandfather Pierre Laurent began his Pastry Shop in Annecy. A couple of years after - in 1924 - he creates "Le Roseaux du Lac Annecy", a pastry based on coffee and chocolate. It soon becomes an international reference for the city of Annecy. Father Bernard continues the tradition with success, together with his brother Jacques.
