AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Limited edition sculpture in a run of 25 bronze and corten steel pieces by Spanish sculptor Pancho Porto.
Dynamic sculpture, the dogs are attached to the plinth with magnets, so they can be arranged in different positions.
The sculpture is hand-signed and numbered, accompanied by its respective certificate of authenticity.
The sculpture is in new condition; shipping is made within a maximum of 2 days, and the sculpture is delivered perfectly packaged.

Pancho Porto (Santiago de Compostela, 1988) began his training in the field of artistic cabinetmaking at the Antonio Failde center in Ourense. At this school he first encountered disciplines such as carving, drawing, and modeling, and, most importantly, workshop work.
Later he enrolled in the Mestre Mateo School of Arts and Crafts in Santiago de Compostela, where he studies what would later become his main discipline: sculpture. It is at this school where he begins to work with materials that will be basic in his work, such as steel or clay. Parallel to this, 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 initial training period, he decides to install his workshop 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 for communicating and narrating his story. Since then, this has been the standard approach to his works, endowing the whole body of his work with complexity and depth, with themes that touch both the social sphere and his personal experiences.
