Does my work belong on the same shelves as these incredible women who taught me everything I know?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is a lot of pressure. But sometimes, pressure simply gives way to talent. So - Medusa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith snakes in place of hair, as the myth goes. Her face so horrific - or, depending on the version, so beautiful - that anyone who looked upon her would instantly turn to stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe couldn't stop looking at her, just as she was made by the potter António Ramalho in his workshop in Barcelos (Minho, Portugal). Far from turning us to stone, the piece made us smile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a work of love and homage, with the vitreous quality and texture of the piece revealing themselves as António’s unique and most distinctive characteristics. He has every reason to be a proud bearer of this incredible family legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe found Medusa to be a witty and visionary fusion of ancient Greek tragedy with the popular clay figures of Barcelos from the 20th century. We even dare to say: a unique piece of Graeco-Barcelense mythology.
