Amor Cego – Blind Love

Primavera – Spring

Nossa Senhora do O – Our Lady of O

As Irmãs Flores reproduzem as tradicionais figuras do espólio artesanal de Estremoz (que pode ser admirado no Museu Municipal Prof. Joaquim Vermelho) embora também inovem na criação de outros personagens usualmente ligados à História ou ao saber popular.

Do atelier das irmãs  trouxe uma” Primavera” e um “Amor Cego” que se vieram  juntar à “Nossa Senhora do Ó” que havia adquirido numa outra viagem a Estremoz.

The Flores Sisters produce replicas of the traditional figures of the Estremoz artisan estate (that can be admired at the Prof. Joaquim Vermelho Museum) they also innovate creating characters of the Portuguese History or of a popular basis.

From their atelier I brought a “Primavera” (spring) and an “Amor Cego” (blind love) that have joined the “Nossa Senhora do Ó” (Our Lady of O) from my last trip to Estremoz.
