AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Limited series sculpture in bronze and corten steel, produced by the Spanish sculptor Pancho Porto.
The sculpture is delivered hand-signed and numbered, accompanied by its respective certificate of authenticity.
The sculpture is new; shipping is arranged within a maximum of 2 days, and the sculpture is delivered perfectly packaged.

Pancho Porto (Santiago de Compostela, 1988) began his training in artistic cabinetmaking at the Antonio Failde center in Ourense. At this school he first encountered disciplines such as carving, drawing, or modeling, and, more importantly, hands-on workshop work.
Later he enrolled at 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 would be fundamental in his work, such as steel or clay. Parallel, Porto continues his personal development and researches other materials such as bronze or resins and their multiple uses and finishes, leaning toward bronze and steel as the definitive materials for his works.

After this initial training period, he decides 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 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 usual tone of his works, endowing the whole body of his work with complexity and depth, with themes that touch both the social sphere and his personal experiences.
