Description from the seller
Bronze sculpture with a niche, limited edition of 25 pieces by the Spanish sculptor Porto.
The sculpture comes with a numbered and signed certificate.
Pancho Porto (Santiago de Compostela, 1988) began his training in the field of artistic carpentry at the Antonio Failde center in Ourense. In this school he first encountered disciplines such as carving, drawing, or modeling, and, most importantly, hands-on workshop experience.
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 began working with materials that would be basic to his work, such as steel or clay. Parallel to this, Porto continued his personal study and explored other materials such as bronze or resins and their multiple uses and finishes.
After this initial training phase, he decided to set up his studio 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 ways of communicating and narrating his story. Since then, this has been the usual tone of his works, endowing his entire body of work with complexity and depth, with themes that touch both on social issues and his personal experiences.
