ANTÓNIO EMANUEL LEMOS ALVES BELO BARRETO

Island:

São Miguel - Ponta Delgada

Biography:

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.
