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

Prazeres, one of Julia Côta's daughters, now continues the tradition initiated by her great grandfather, João Domingos Côta da Rocha, creator of the famous Portuguese Rooster (Galo de Barcelos).

Already honored as the Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the Feira de Barcelos in 2018, the Pottery Museum has just included her in a"Geração Côta" exhibition and presents several of her works that belong to the Museum's collection and to private collections as well.

Parazeres Côta's works, like her mother Júlia, evoke the rural life of Minho, its traditional characters and the influences of religious or mythological beliefs.
Among these, Pai Natal (Santa Claus)  has obviously its place and is represented here as he is imagined in the Minho region.

Why I love it

  • A funny interpretation of Santa Claus imbued with sensitivity and respect.
  • The authentic and unique nature of each of these handmade statuettes that are signed by their creator.

                                                                                                 

Please note: This piece is unique, entirely moulded in clay and then hand-painted.
