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 has his first contact with disciplines such as carving, drawing or modeling, and what is more important, with work in the workshop.
Later he enrolled in the Mestre Mateo School of Arts and Crafts in Santiago de Compostela, where he studied what would be his main discipline in the future: sculpture. It is in this school where he already works with materials that will be basic in his work, such as steel or clay. At the same time, Porto continues his training personally and investigates other materials such as bronze or resins and their multiple uses and finishes, opting for the use of bronze and steel as the definitive material for his works.
After this first stage of training, he decided to set up 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 transmit. This leads him to look for new proposals when communicating and telling his story. Since then, this will be the usual tone of his works, thus providing complexity and background to his work as a whole, with themes that touch both the social sphere and his personal experiences.

Pancho Porto is a contemporary Spanish sculptor. He embarked on his artistic journey with a foundation in artistic cabinetmaking at the Antonio Failde center in Ourense. Here, he not only gained proficiency in the craft but also had his initial encounters with crucial disciplines such as carving, drawing, and modeling. Most significantly, it was within the workshop environment that Porto cultivated the hands-on skills integral to his future work.
His educational path led him to the Mestre Mateo School of Arts and Crafts in Santiago de Compostela, where he honed his focus on sculpture, shaping the trajectory of his artistic endeavors. The school provided a platform for Porto to experiment with materials that would become fundamental to his artistic expression, including steel and clay. Simultaneously, he pursued personal training and delved into the exploration of materials like bronze and resins, examining their diverse applications and finishes. Ultimately, Porto gravitated towards bronze and steel as the definitive mediums for his creations.
Following this initial phase of formal training, Pancho Porto took a decisive step by establishing his own workshop along the banks of the Sarela River, near his place of birth. It was within this space that he embarked on a nuanced exploration, both theoretically and practically, delving into the intricate relationship between the materials employed in each artwork and the messages they conveyed. This quest led him to constantly seek new proposals in communicating and narrating his stories, becoming a defining characteristic of his artistic approach.
From this point onward, Pancho Porto consistently infused complexity and depth into his works. Themes explored in his sculptures span the spectrum from social issues to personal experiences, adding layers of meaning to his artistic endeavors. His dedication to investigating the interplay of materials and the narratives they carry sets the tone for his unique and thought-provoking body of work. Pancho Porto's sculptures stand as a testament to his ongoing commitment to pushing artistic boundaries and offering viewers a rich tapestry of stories, reflections, and emotions.
