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

This figurine represents the Catholic Saint São João. It is the most authentic expression of Prazeres Côta’s personal and creative universe—she shapes clay in a naive style, portraying what she sees around her.

 

 

What I love

  • A figurine that sits between folk craft and naïve art.
  • A playful and whimsical portrayal of São João.
  • A one-of-a-kind piece, signed by the artist.

More informations?

The Côta family is the most iconic and representative family in the figurative art tradition of Barcelos and the Minho region in northern Portugal.

Prazeres, one of Júlia Côta’s daughters, continues the tradition started by her great-grandfather, João Domingos Côta da Rocha—the creator of the famous Portuguese Rooster (Galo de Barcelos).

Recognized as “New Talent of the Year” at the 2018 Feira de Barcelos, she was recently featured in the "Geração Côta" exhibit at the Pottery Museum, which now showcases several of her works from both the museum's collection and private collectors.
