Francisco Relógio was born in Vila Verde de Ficalho, in the Alentejo, in 1926, and died in 1997. He studied in Lisbon at the Fonseca Benevides Industrial School.
Associated with Neo-Realism, he devoted himself to painting, stage design, drawing and ceramics, and studied azulejo tilework, producing several tile panels in Lisbon. In 1971 he was represented at the 1st International Azulejo Symposium, organised by João Miguel dos Santos Simões at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.
His work is held in several Portuguese and foreign collections, including that of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation’s Modern Art Centre, which holds "Jarra" and "Mulheres e Pássaros", both from 1960.
