Description from the seller
Free Shipping across Europe
Sculpture obtained in double lost-wax casting, 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.
An work with strong symbolic value
“I HOPE” is a contemporary sculpture that embodies a universal message of hope, responsibility and continuity between generations.
The female figure, nude and unveiled, 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, the Earth, the only common good to preserve for future generations.
On the globe a black line is traced, the maternal line, distinctive element of the Matrilineal collection, symbol of the invisible bond that unites origin, memory and descent.
On the belly of the figure is inscribed #IHOPE, a direct and contemporary sign inviting awareness and regeneration.
Materials and technique – artwork entirely obtained by lost-wax casting.
This sculpture is not made in plaster, resin or composite materials.
The work is entirely obtained through lost-wax casting, according to Italian sculptural tradition.
The female figure is cast in bronze, subsequently black patinated.
The globe is cast in aluminum, a material chosen for its structural lightness and durability.
Both elements are therefore melted metals, hand-worked and finished in the artists’ studio in Pietrasanta, with no use of 3D printing or industrial processes.
Each piece shows slight surface differences due to the casting process, guaranteeing the artisanal authenticity of the work.
