RARÍSSIMO
     
Costumamos chamar-lhe Papão mas em Barcelos (Minho, Portugal) chamam-lhe Sarronco. É aquilo que a mãe do oleiro António Ramalho e os outros adultos lhe chamavam a ele e aos amigos sempre que as travessuras levavam a melhor.

O BISNETO DE ROSA RAMALHO REINVENTA A TRADIÇÃO

António Ramalho cresceu com barro debaixo das unhas, herdando um legado familiar que soube reinventar com imaginação e expressividade única.
Early Life and Family Heritage

Born in 1969 in Barcelos, António Ramalho grew up with clay under his fingernails and, at only 8 years old, sold a tiny clay horse he had made to a Spanish tourist. The son of Júlia Ramalho and great-grandson of Rosa Ramalho, two of the most iconic names in Portuguese ceramics, António learned sculpture as a family craft.

International Experience and Return to Roots

Years abroad in England and France gave him perspective, but it was in 2004 that he returned home to fulfill his family’s tradition - not to repeat it, but to reimagine it, a balancing act between honoring his legacy and finding his own voice.

Artistic Style and Themes

António’s work is imaginative and expressive. It blends inherited forms, traditional Barcelos clay figures and a uniquely strange cast of surreal creatures glazed in green glass, one of his trademarks.

Exhibitions and Collaborations

His pieces have been shown from Braga’s Cathedral Museum to contemporary alternative galleries like RAMPa in Porto, where he’s collaborated with young artists.
