Francioni Mastromarino (1978) - La Concipiente nera

"La Concipiente" is a wall sculpture by Francioni Mastromarino.
Throughout their career, Francioni Mastromarino have participated in prestigious international exhibitions, including:

“Motives of the Soul” in Pontedera
“Looking for Monnalisa,” where they presented a monumental sculpture: the world's largest portrait of Leonardo da Vinci — over 5 meters tall and about 4 meters in diameter — today acquired by Pavia and officially recognized as a city monument.

This work is a secular altar, designed to be exhibited with ease thanks to a hook on the back and resistant even outdoors, thanks to durable and sustainable materials.
The work embodies the Creative Woman, capable of generating not only in the body but also in the spirit and thought. In her are reflected intuition, the ability to welcome and transform, emotional intelligence, and a deep understanding of the world.
Her “nest,” which inspires the hairstyle in the sculpture, is a physical and symbolic place where ideas, emotions, and relationships intertwine to become new beginnings. The name “Concipiente,” from the Latin con-capere, means “to take to oneself” and “to understand”: a double meaning that guides the inspiration of the work, reflecting on the feminine power to absorb, feel, and create connections between inner life and the external world.
Signed in collaboration by Eleonora Francioni and Antonio Mastromarino, the work stems from an artistic and human collaboration that has lasted over twenty years, where artistic research is conceived in synergy.
Traditional techniques blend with a contemporary vision of form and symbol. The sculpture is made of acrylic resin mixed with rice husk (a by-product of the processing of polished rice revalued as a resource and made durable), resting on an aluminum sheet. The choice of materials embodies the authors’ pursuit of concrete sustainability.
