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 today the tradition initiated by her great-grandfather, João Domingos Côta da Rocha, creator of the famous Portuguese Rooster (Galo de Barcelos).
Already honored as revelation of the year at the Feira de Barcelos in 2018, the pottery museum has just included her in an exhibition "Geração Côta" and presents several of her works belonging to the Museum's collection and private collections.
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.
Among these, Pai Natal (Father Christmas) obviously has his place and is represented here as one imagines him in the Minho region.
What I like
- A burlesque evocation of Father Christmas, imbued with sensitivity and respect.
- The authentic and unique character of each of these hand-made statuettes, signed by their author.
Please note: This piece is unique, entirely molded in clay and then hand-painted.
