Pancho Porto - the affronts avenger capsulated

Bronze sculpture with niche, limited edition of 25 pieces by the Spanish sculptor Porto.
The sculpture comes 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. At this school he has his first contact with disciplines such as carving, drawing, or modeling, and, most importantly, with workshop work.

Later he enrolls in the Mestre Mateo School of Arts and Trades in Santiago de Compostela, where he studies what will later become his main discipline: sculpture. It is at this school that he already works with materials that will be fundamental in his work, such as steel or clay. Parallel to this, Porto continues his self-directed study and researches other materials like bronze or resins and their multiple uses and finishes.

After this initial training period, he decides to set up his workshop 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 exploration of the relationship between the materials used in each work and the message they convey. This leads him to seek new approaches when communicating and narrating his story. Since then, this has been the usual tone of his works, giving complexity and depth to the whole body of his work, with themes touching both the social sphere and his personal experiences.
