MARIA DE FÁTIMA SOARES PEREIRA RODRIGUES
Island:
São Miguel - Ponta DelgadaBiography:
Maria de Fátima Rodrigues has been working with
fish scales since she was 25 years old. She presents vegetal compositions of
bleached scales worked with silver or gold bugle beads, on a black background,
achieving harmonious scenic effects, framed by rich wooden frames. Her manual
arts also extend to "Registos", beautiful pieces in homage to Senhor
Santo Cristo dos Milagres. Having a great admiration for these pieces, she
challenged herself to make them, in a process of constant improvement.
According to the artisan, the beauty of her "Registos" lies in the
diversity of elements she uses to compose them, always trying that these
elements complement each other and result in unique pieces of great richness.
