Pancho Porto - Kids with

Bronze and steel sculpture by Spanish sculptor Pancho Porto, edition of 25 numbered and signed copies.
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 will in the future be his main discipline: sculpture. It is in this school where he already works with materials that will be fundamental in his work, such as steel or clay. Parallelly, Porto continues his training on his own and investigates other materials such as bronze or resins and their multiple uses and finishes.

After this initial training stage, he decides to set up his workshop on the banks of the Sarela River, very close to the place where he was born. It is here where he begins his particular theoretical and practical exploration of the relationship between the materials used in each work and the message they convey. This leads him to seek new proposals when it comes to communicating and narrating his story. Since then, this has been the normal tone of his works, thus adding complexity and depth to the whole body of his work, with themes that touch both the social sphere and his personal experiences.
