AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Limited edition sculpture in a series of 25 pieces in bronze and corten steel created by Spanish sculptor Pancho Porto.
Dynamic sculpture; the dogs are fixed to the plinth with magnets, so they can be placed in different positions.
The sculpture is delivered hand-signed and numbered, accompanied by its respective certificate of authenticity.
The sculpture is in new condition; shipping is carried out 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, more importantly, with workshop work.
Later he enrolled in the Mestre Mateo School of Arts and Trades in Santiago de Compostela, where he studied what would later be his main discipline: sculpture. It is at this school that he already works with materials that would be basic in his work, such as steel or clay. Parallel to this, Porto continues his personal study 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 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 research into 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 pattern of his works, thus enriching the complexity and background of his entire body of work, with themes that touch on both the social sphere and his personal experiences.
