The Art Gallery
Welcome to the home of Layia Village Crafts
Our workshop is built on layers of time and creativity.
Based in the heart of Cyprus, we are a husband-and-wife team dedicated to the slow art of traditional craft.
From the ancient, wind-swept olive groves to the vibrant light of the Mediterranean coast, our work is a tribute to the island we call home.
SPECIAL COMMISSIONS & EXHIBITIONS by DoodLynn Den
Welcome to The Art Gallery. While our main workshop celebrates traditional Cypriot crafts, this dedicated space showcases our premium, narrative-driven fine art and diplomatic exhibition pieces—where wild Cyprus olive wood meets history.
✈️ AVIATION HERITAGE
Born from the exact same wild olive grove in Layia, these two legendary warbirds tell a story of craftsmanship and international memory.
The hand-carved Mosquito has been proudly donated to the 307 Squadron Project and honored by the Polish Embassy in Nicosia. Its companion Spitfire completes the circle, capturing the timeless spirit of the White Cliffs in the rich timber of Cyprus.
🌊 CYPRIOT LANDSCAPES
An artistic study of the island’s raw coastlines. This signature piece uses the dense, chaotic grain of ancient olive wood to replicate the weathered cliffs of Cape Greco, seamlessly paired with vibrant resin work to capture the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean. Designed for exclusive collections and luxury spaces.

🦩 THE NATURAL WORLD & CYPRUS 2030
From our community work with local Bee Hotels to major environmental showcases, we carve the soul of Cyprus’s wildlife.
CURRENTLY ON THE BENCH: The Golden Flamingo. A 3-stage transformation turning a rugged, heavy olive root into the elegant, sweeping posture of the salt lake guardians. Coming June 2026 in support of the upcoming Cyprus 2030 cultural events.
