Pancho Porto - the affronts avenger capsulated

Bronze sculpture with a niche, limited edition of 25 copies by the Spanish sculptor Porto.
The sculpture is delivered with a numbered and signed certificate.
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 first comes into contact with disciplines such as carving, drawing, or modeling, and, most importantly, with workshop work.

Later he enrolled in the Mestre Mateo School of Arts and Trades 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 fundamental in his work, such as steel or clay. Parallely, Porto continues his training on his own and investigates other materials such as bronze or resins and their multiple uses and finishes.

After this initial training phase, 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 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 it comes to communicating and narrating his story. Since then, this has been the usual tone of his works, thereby adding complexity and background to his entire body of work, with themes that touch both on social issues and his personal experiences.
