Prazeres Côta's works, like her mother Júlia, evoke the rural life of Minho, its traditional characters and the influences of religious or mythological beliefs.
The Boneca Minhota is a naive representation of Minho women that can still be found at markets or local festivals. She is presented here in her most beautiful clothes, dressed in her prettiest dress in bright colors and carrying a basket of fruit.
Why I love it
- An unclassifiable statuette halfway between craftsmanship and naive art.
- A naive and funny evocation of the traditions and mythologies of rural Minho always imbued with sensitivity and respect.
- The authentic and unique character of each of these handmade statuettes signed by their creator.
