Free shipping across Europe
Sculpture made using double lost wax casting, with the world in aluminum and the woman in black patinated bronze.
Exclusive and rare object by the sculptor artists Francioni Mastromarino, who have been working for over two decades in their art studio in Pietrasanta, Italy.
A work of strong symbolic value

"I HOPE" is a contemporary sculpture that encapsulates a universal message of hope, responsibility, and continuity across generations.

The female figure, nude and veiled, wears a mask that conceals her expressions, removing any individual reference to represent the essence of all women in a universal and timeless way. The woman is resting on our planet, Earth, the only common good to be preserved for future generations.

A black line is traced on the globe, the maternal line, a distinctive element of the Matrilineare collection, symbolizing the invisible bond that unites origin, memory, and descent.

On the belly of the figure is engraved #IHOPE, a direct and contemporary sign that invites awareness and regeneration.

Materials and technique – work entirely created using lost wax casting.

This sculpture is not made of plaster, resin, or composite materials.
The work is entirely created using the lost wax casting process, according to Italian sculptural tradition.

The female figure is cast in bronze, then subsequently patinated in black.

The globe is cast in aluminum, a material chosen for its structural lightness and durability.

Both elements are therefore fused metals, handcrafted and hand-finished in the artists' studio in Pietrasanta, without the use of 3D printing or industrial processes.

Each piece exhibits slight surface differences resulting from the fusion process, ensuring the handcrafted authenticity of the work.
