Description from the seller
Limited edition sculpture in a series of 25 pieces in bronze and corten steel by the Spanish sculptor Pancho Porto.

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 or modeling, and what is more important, with workshop work.
Later he enrolls in the Mestre Mateo School of Arts and Crafts in Santiago de Compostela, where he studies what will later be his main discipline: sculpture. It is at this school where he already works with materials that will be basic in his work, such as steel or clay. Parallel, Porto continues his training personally 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 first stage of training, he decides to install his studio 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 investigation 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 usual tone of his works, thus adding complexity and background to the entire body of his work, with themes that touch both the social sphere and his personal experiences.
