After graduating as a industrial designer, Fernando Pinto opted for the arts and particularly for stone sculpture, a profession he studied and internalized in Pietrasanta, Italy, a place of worship for sculptural exploration. His work is, amongst all, a defense of the sculptural essence. Although adapted to a contemporary aesthetic and context, Pinto's work is traditional from many perspectives.

Despite Pinto works with traditional stones of sculptural art such as marble and granite and adapts them to his reality, his pieces also reveal the sculptural potential of the stones that inhabit our daily lives, the park stone, the stone that rests on the edge of the road, this is the type of raw material that he uses to exalt the innate characteristics of the material. His sculpture is closely linked to the concept of reconnection, of the energy of the earth, for this reason, he considers his pieces as living beings that affect and are affected by the elements around him.

As he himself states, he begins to work by letting ideas and sensations flow. He makes sketches on the stone itself, as he tries to get very close to the material and improvise on it:

“Little by little the sketches start to take more concrete languages, recurrent expressions, common findings… I continue working and in some moments those forms, languages, textures, etc.. make CLICK in me as if they had come face to face with the thoughts and emotions that created them. At that moment all the relations between what I’m doing and what I’m willing to say start becoming clearer. I start finding the questions, translating them, and capturing them more consciously on the stone”, Fernando Pinto tells us.
