AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Limited edition bronze sculpture by Spanish sculptor Pancho Porto.
In the sculpture, a human figure is observed with an abstracted attitude, walking aimlessly between two rusted steel plates that represent the city. The intention of the work is to evoke a sense of emptiness and loneliness in the viewer.
The sculpture is numbered and signed by hand and comes with a certificate.

Pancho Porto (Santiago de Compostela, 1988) began his training in the specialty of artistic woodworking at the Antonio Failde center in Ourense. At this school, he first encountered disciplines such as carving, drawing, and modeling, and most importantly, working in the workshop.
Later on, he enrolls at the Mestre Mateo School of Arts and Crafts in Santiago de Compostela, where he studies what will become his main discipline in the future: sculpture. It is at this school that he begins working with materials that will be fundamental in his work, such as steel and clay. Simultaneously, Porto continues his personal development and researches other materials like bronze and resins, exploring their various uses and finishes.
After this initial training phase, he decided to set up his workshop on the banks of the Sarela River, very close to where he was born. It is here that he begins his particular investigation, both theoretical and practical, into the relationship between the materials used in each work and the message they convey. This leads him to seek new ways to communicate and narrate his story. Since then, this has become the usual tone of his works, adding complexity and depth to his entire body of work, with themes that touch on both social issues and his personal experiences.
