ANTÓNIO EMANUEL LEMOS ALVES BELO BARRETO
Island:
São Miguel - Ponta DelgadaBiography:
António Barreto is from Torres Novas and since
he was little he has always shown an interest in handicrafts.
About 20 years ago, he came to live in the
island of São Miguel, a land he adopted as his own, where he had his first
contact with the lapinha Nativity cribs, fascinated by the detail in these
typical works from São Miguel.
Responding to the need for portability of these
works, he started by designing “portable” Lapinhas, in the form of diptychs
that close and open, as well as small Lapinhas in other very original formats.
His art is on several islands of the Azores, in
several cities on the mainland, in Israel, United States of America, United
Kingdom, Spain, Brazil and Costa Rica.
