The Black Island
Pico is dominated by Portugal's highest mountain (2,351m) and is famous for its UNESCO World Heritage wine landscape, where vines grow in black volcanic stone corrals.

I’m Arménio Goulart, an artisan born and raised on Pico Island, where raw nature and tradition shape both life and art. At PicoArtes, I work side by side with my mother, Lucília, continuing the delicate craft of traditional Pico lace while also creating original contemporary pieces inspired by the island itself.
