Wir nennen es gewöhnlich Papão, aber in Barcelos (Minho, Portugal) nennt man es Sarronco. So nannten die Mutter des Töpfers António Ramalho und die anderen Erwachsenen ihn und seine Freunde immer dann, wenn die Streiche überhandnahmen.

DER URENKEL VON ROSA RAMALHO ERFINDET DIE TRADITION NEU

António Ramalho wuchs mit Ton unter den Nägeln auf und erbte ein Familienerbe, das er mit Fantasie und einzigartiger Ausdruckskraft neu zu erfinden wusste.
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.
