Parazeres Côta's works, like those of her mother, Júlia, evoke rural life in Minho, its traditional characters, and the influences of religious or mythological beliefs.
This statuette is the representation of a nativity scene that combines vibrant primary colors. It is the most authentic expression of the personal universe of Prazeres Côta, who shapes clay by representing what she sees around her.
