Maria Pratas - Textile Artist

"Handicrafts are changing all throughout Portugal.

"Handicrafts are changing all throughout Portugal. From weaving to fashion, from stone and wood carving to ceramics, from furniture to jewellery. These and many other traditional activities are being reinvented with new methods, individual and national charisma and, above all, lots of passion." _ London Craft Week, a magical combination of imagination, individuality, passion and skill found in the best-made of things.
[Guy Salter, Chairman of London Craft Week]

Taking out TRONCO from nature and seeing it on a w

Taking out TRONCO from nature and seeing it on a wall in such a naturally beautiful, artistic and inspiring habitat, makes me think that this is worth every day of production, individual work, denying distraction agents and proceeding to some point.
Choices from a daily rotine.

Love this cobalt blue!
This color is committed to creating a statement, to elevating a flat space, to having Helena Almeida close by, to creating an unforgettable environment.

COLAR and Helena Almeida make it real and possible.

It's a simple textile jewelry, but also a functional object for decor. It just exists and belongs to a contemporary environment. It's a combination of creativity and knowledge of the limit to the plasticity of raw materials. Does it belong to a wall? Maybe. I just want it to exist where it can be unique.

Imagine bringing nature inside: a forest with birds, some fresh fruit, golden twigs... hooo yes!
Sprinkle a bit of art, add some people and you pretty much created a dream interior ambience.

I ´m working in a XL scale. It´s a dam daily challenge!
Getting bigger by hands is getting closer to the decor and assured strength of this stoutly tapestry. Playful the limits, mixing color and planing a composition by technique, shapes and textures.
"Lines" is all about bring all together into an ambience.

COLAR
This piece comprises ornamental parts of Human Decor. It's a simple textile jewelry, but also a functional object for decor. It just exists and belongs to a contemporary environment. It's a combination of creativity and knowledge of the limit to the plasticity of raw materials. Does it belong to a wall? Maybe. I just want it to exist where it can be unique.

NOVOS ARTESÃOS
Numa edição, onde a ligação entre mulheres reais, verão e novos artesãos, faz-se no mesmo sentido, estive à conversa num registo muito feliz. “... interessante passar da quase bidimensionalidade do fio para as 3 dimensões do objecto criado”.
Obrigada @isabelrvidal 🤍

We all need a little colour in our days at the moment.
Not! All life moments.
Summer is the perfect time to inject light seasonal shades to wake up home interiors.
Red and yellow are as strong as ever, giving sophistication and power to interiors living areas.

Another composition exercise:
The hotel is a house where I find myself living very old. In this one, which I don't know, I don't even know where it is, I just stayed the time to look and put in the image some lamps I made some time ago, just to see how the reception environment would be. Beautiful.

These unique piece combine creativity and knowledge to the limit of the plasticity of raw materials. I like allowing my creations to come to life by giving people the chance to display them on a table or on the wall, in a place where they can be unique — I say with the satisfaction of knowing my creations can travel anywhere around the world.
