"I HOPE" – Black patinated bronze sculpture
Limited Edition – Only 8 numbered pieces + 4 artist proofs
Artists: Francioni & Mastromarino | Studio: Pietrasanta, Tuscany (Italy)
"I HOPE" is more than a sculpture: it is a universal message of hope.
The female figure, nude and proud, cast in black patinated bronze using the ancient lost-wax casting technique, rests with strength and grace on our planet—the Earth, unique and fragile. Her face is hidden by a mask: a symbolic gesture to represent all women, timeless and without fixed identities.
#Ihope is engraved on the belly, a direct, strong message that invites you to believe in the power of dreams and regeneration.
The work is part of the Matrilineare collection, in which the maternal line, highlighted on the earth's surface, represents the invisible thread that unites generations, cultures, and hopes.
The globe isn't just a decorative element; it's made with eco-friendly geomortar and recycled rice husks, innovative materials free of Portland cement and petroleum derivatives. Art, in this case, is also an ethical choice: what you believe in coincides with what you create.
This sculpture is entirely handmade in the artists' studio in Pietrasanta—Italy's sculpture capital—without the use of 3D printing. Each piece is unique, numbered, and meticulously crafted.
