The works of Parazeres Côta, like those of her mother, Júlia, evoke rural life in Minho, its traditional characters, and the influences of religious or mythological beliefs.
This candlestick, resembling a tiered cake, is the most authentic expression of the personal and creative universe of Prazeres Côta, who naively shapes clay by representing what she sees around her.
What I Like
- An uncategorized statuette between craftsmanship and naive art.
- A unique work signed by its author.
Characteristics
- Height: approximately 11"
- Weight: approximately 2 kg
- Comes with its certificate of authenticity
More informations ?
The Côta family is the most charismatic and representative family of figurative art in Barcelos and the Minho region in Northern Portugal.
Prazeres, one of Julia Côta's daughters, continues the tradition initiated by her great-grandfather, João Domingos Côta da Rocha, the creator of the famous Portuguese Rooster (Galo de Barcelos).
Already honored as the revelation of the year at the Feira de Barcelos in 2018, the pottery museum has included her in an exhibition called "Geração Côta" and presents several of her works belonging to the museum's collection and private collections.
