AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Limited edition sculpture in a series of 25 pieces in bronze and corten steel created by the Spanish sculptor Pancho Porto.
Dynamic sculpture, the dogs are fixed to the plinth with magnets, so they can be arranged in different positions.
The sculpture is hand-signed and numbered, accompanied by its respective certificate of authenticity.
The sculpture is in new condition, shipping is sent within a maximum of 2 days, the sculpture is delivered perfectly packaged.

Pancho Porto (Santiago de Compostela, 1988) began his training in the specialty of artistic cabinetmaking at the Antonio Failde Center in Ourense. At this school he had his first contact with disciplines such as carving, drawing, or modeling, and what is more important, with workshop work.
Later he enrolled in the Mestre Mateo School of Arts and Trades in Santiago de Compostela, where he studied what would later become his main discipline: sculpture. It is at this school that he already worked with materials that would be fundamental in his work, such as steel or clay. Parallel to this, Porto continued his training on his own and researched other materials such as bronze or resins and their multiple uses and finishes, leaning toward the use of bronze and steel as the definitive materials for his works.

After this first training phase, he decided to set up his studio on the banks of the Sarela River, very close to where he was born. It is here that he begins his particular theoretical and practical investigation into the relationship between the materials used in each work and the message they convey. This leads him to seek new proposals when communicating and narrating his story. Since then, this has been the usual tone of his works, thus adding complexity and depth to his entire body of work, with themes that touch both the social sphere and his personal experiences.
