Ferrando, escultor autodidacta, inicia su carrera artística en 2003, hasta esa fecha y después de terminar sus estudios de bachiller, consagra 5 años de su vida a viajar por distintos países del mundo.
A su regreso a España ejerce como herrero y profesor de Artes Marciales hasta que descubre el arte de la escultura, su actual profesión.
Durante estos 5 años de producción su ritmo de trabajo ha sido frenético, realizando todas sus esculturas completamente en solitario. Ha sido seleccionado para representar a España en 2008 en la prestigiosa triennale de Praga y ha realizado exposiciones y homenajes para diferentes personalidades tales como el director de cine Jean Jaques Annaud o Guillermo del Toro.
Actualmente acaba de concluir una obra cinética de 6000kg de peso llamada “Latidos de la Metrópolis”, un homenaje a la capital de su tierra elaborado con materiales de reciclaje ferroviarios de la Comunidad Valenciana.
Ferrando se halla inmerso desde que concluyo su titánica obra en un proyecto compuesto por 11 obras de inferior tamaño que espera terminar para finales del 2008.

Ferrando, a self-taught sculptor, began his artistic career in 2003, after obtaining his Baccalaureate and spending 5 years of his life travelling through different countries of the world.
On his return to Spain he worked as a blacksmith and Martial Arts teacher until he discovered the art of sculpture, which is his current vocation.
During these 5 years' production his pace of work has been frenetic, and he has made all his sculptures working entirely on his own. He has been selected to represent Spain in 2008 at the prestigious Prague Triennial, and he has put on exhibitions in honour of, and made sculptural tributes to, different well-known figures such as film directors Jean Jacques Annaud and Guillermo del Toro.
At present he has just completed a 6000kg kinetic work called “Heartbeats of the Metropolis” – a tribute to the capital of his land made from salvaged railway materials from the Valencian Community.
Since Ferrando completed his titanic work he has been immersed in a project made up of 11 smaller-scale works which he expects to finish for late 2008.
