The works of Prazeres Côta, like those of her mother, Júlia, evoke the rural life of Minho, its traditional characters, and the influences of religious or mythological beliefs.

This candlestick, in the form of a tiered cake, is the most authentic expression of Prazeres Côta's personal and creative universe. She shapes clay naively, representing what she sees around her.

Why I Love It
