After formally studying as an industrial designer, Fernando Pinto decided to enter the world of art, focusing on stone sculpture, a passion he cultivated in Pietrasanta, Italy, a place revered for its exploration in sculptural art. His work represents a firm defense of this profession and its essence. Although adapted to a contemporary aesthetic and context, his work can be considered traditional from various perspectives.

His sculpture is closely linked to the concept of reconnection and the energy of the earth. For this reason, he considers his pieces as living beings that interact with the elements around them and are affected by them.

As he himself states, his creative process begins by letting ideas and sensations flow. He makes sketches directly on the stone itself, seeking to understand the material and improvise on it:

“Little by little, the sketches begin to adopt more concrete languages, recurring expressions, shared discoveries. I keep working and, at some point, the shapes, the languages, the textures somehow click within me, as if they meet the thoughts and feelings that created them. In that instant, all the relationships between what I am doing and what I am trying to express become clear. “I begin to discover the questions, to translate them and to translate them more consciously into the stone.”
