Francisco Leiro is the last survivor of a heroic time in sculpture that is almost completely gone. Leiro has great international projection after he signed with the prestigious Marlborough. We do not narrate his biography, nor do we outline his extensive career. We merely show the objective, physical and mental conditions of the sculptor’s creative process, between his native Galicia, in Cambados, and his workplaces in Madrid and New York, to discover the soul of the giant.
