Pancho Porto (Santiago de Compostela, 1988) began his training in the specialty of artistic cabinetmaking at the Antonio Failde center in Ourense. In 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 Crafts in Santiago de Compostela, where he studied what would later be his main discipline: sculpture. It is in this school where he already worked with materials that would be basic in his work, such as steel or clay. Parallel, Porto continues his training personally and researches other materials such as bronze or resins and their multiple uses and finishes, leaning towards 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 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 normal pattern of his works, adding complexity and background to the whole of his work, with themes that touch both the social sphere and his personal experiences.
