AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Limited-edition sculpture in a series of 25 pieces in bronze and corten steel by the Spanish sculptor Pancho Porto.
The sculpture is delivered hand-signed and numbered, accompanied by its respective certificate of authenticity.
The sculpture is in new condition; shipping is made 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 had his first contact with disciplines such as carving, drawing, or modeling, and, most importantly, with workshop work.
Later he enrolled in the Mestre Mateo School of Arts and Crafts in Santiago de Compostela, where he studied what would later 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. Parallel to this, Porto continues his training on his own and investigates 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 decided to set up his workshop on the banks of the Sarela River, very close to the place where he was born. It is here that he begins his particular theoretical and practical investigation of 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 standard approach in his works, endowing the whole body of his work with complexity and background, with themes that touch both the social sphere and his personal experiences.
