Pancho Porto - kids with

Bronze and steel sculpture by Spanish sculptor Pancho Porto, edition of 25 numbered and signed pieces.
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, most 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 be in the future his main discipline: sculpture. It is in this school where he already works with materials that will be basic in his work, such as steel or clay. Parallel to this, 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 stage of training, he decides to set up his studio 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 will be the usual tone of his works, thereby adding complexity and background to the whole of his work, with themes that touch both the social sphere and his personal experiences.
