The Beermans





The Beerman Gallery in Kranidi, Argolidos, was established by Marita and Erwin Beerman more than two decades ago. They use their space for working and showing their paintings that are mostly inspired by the small town, their surroundings and the people of Southern Greece. The Beermans use bright pastels and watercolors, and compose playful simple structures and shapes.


Other than sharing a love of art, we are also all foreigners in the area! Their help has been invaluable to me as they have much knoweledge of the area and people, as well as a lot of practical advice in running a gallery. We have also all spent former years living in Saudi Arabia! They spent twelve years in the western part of Saudi and I spent my childhood in eastern side. Our common interests, and their warm-heartedness have made me feel a little bit more at home...Right now they are in Dubai organizing an exhibit.
