AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Limited series sculpture of 25 bronze and corten steel pieces created by the Spanish sculptor Pancho Porto.
The sculpture is delivered signed by hand and numbered, accompanied by its respective certificate of authenticity.
The sculpture is in new condition, shipping is carried out within a maximum of 2 days, and 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 first came into contact with disciplines such as carving, drawing, and modeling, and, most importantly, with workshop work.
Later he enrolls at the Mestre Mateo School of Arts and Trades in Santiago de Compostela, where he studies what will become his main discipline: sculpture. It is at this school that he already works with materials that will be fundamental in his work, such as steel or clay. Alongside, Porto continues his self-directed study and researches 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 initial training phase, he decides to set up his studio on the banks of the Sarela river, very close to where he was born. Here he begins his particular theoretical and practical research into the relationship between the materials used in each work and the message they convey. This leads him to seek new proposals for communicating and narrating his story. Since then, this has been the usual tone of his works, thereby adding complexity and depth to his entire body of work, with themes that touch on both social issues and his personal experiences.
