Hailing from Euskadi, Pedro Zamorano was a latecomer to the world of sculpture, embarking on his artistic journey during his time in Hondarribi in the early 1980s. It was in this vibrant community that he discovered Basque sculpture, and it was through his visits to the studio of Remigio Mendiburu and the workshops of his friend Nino Barriuso, where the works of renowned artists such as Jorge Oteiza and Nestor Basterrechea piqued his curiosity. Witnessing the remarkable transformation of stone and wood into works of art ignited a deep interest within him, which would eventually become his life’s calling.
According to Pedro Zamorano, the foundations of each piece and its physical features are not the sole determinants of a sculpture’s essence.
He asserts that the material used is crucial in giving form and individuality to a sculpture. This belief reflects his approach and methodology in his craft.
