Mr. Àlvaro Grais and his wife, Mrs. Alice, live in "Seixas", a locality which belongs to the municipality of "Caminha", where they also have their family business, and where they work daily, executing the pieces that they then sell.

Lovers of the work they do, they dedicate themselves affectionately, applying a group of techniques as the support to their fabulous artistic qualities.

Mr. Àlvaro Grais fundamental activity is manual painting on tiles, however he also fabricates them when they are for renovations.

Portugal is a repository to very valuable masterpieces in tiles, which dates back many centuries and is quite remarkable that this couple strives to maintain alive this artistic tradition of great value.

The techniques are hard and of great detail, but this couple aplly them with great perfection, adding to them all their sensibility, dexterity, imagination and creative power to give birth to pure beauty, which decorates the most diverse locations: interiors, patios, facades, bath-rooms, etc.

The motives applied are the result of either the client's choice or the couple's free will. In spite of considering that the youth are not motivated to continue this art- as an example they use a course that they gave to a group of youngsters, which simply gave up. Despite this they continue with perseverance, and will not give up.
