ABOUT US

Sylvia Dania-Croes

Years ago I began making art from seashells I found washed up on the beach.

In fact, that's still my passion

to this day.

I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to be a co-founder of such a wonderful art boutique that welcomes visitors from all over the world.

Purely Aruban Artwork was co-founded in 2016

by Sylvia Dania-Croes and

Antonia Ridderstap.

Together they created a haven for local artists & artisans

who seek to bring their masterful creations

to the rest of the world.

Antonia Ridderstap

I've always had a lot of respect for our one and only little planet Earth.

My art is focused on re-purposing materials that would otherwise be discarded and forgotten about.

Now, as co-founder of one of Aruba's most popular art boutiques,

I feel so lucky to be able to bring mine as well as other artist's work to the hands of Aruba's visitors
