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 has his first 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 in the future be his main discipline: sculpture. It is at this school that he already works with materials that will be basic in his work, such as steel or clay. Parallel, Porto continues his training independently 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 decides to install 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 mode of his works, thus adding complexity and background to the whole of his output, with themes that touch both the social sphere and his personal experiences.
