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

“I HOPE” is a contemporary sculpture that encapsulates 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 reference to the individual to represent the essence of all women in a universal and timeless way. The woman rests on our planet, the Earth, the only common good to be preserved for future generations.

On the globe a black line is traced—the maternal line—a distinctive element of the Matrilineal collection, symbolizing the invisible bond that unites origin, memory, and descent.

On the figure’s abdomen is engraved #IHOPE, a direct and contemporary sign inviting awareness and regeneration.

Materials and technique – the work is entirely produced by lost-wax casting.

This sculpture is not made in plaster, resin, or composite materials.
The piece is entirely obtained through lost-wax casting, following Italian sculptural tradition.

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

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

Both elements are metal castings, worked and finished by hand in the artists’ studio in Pietrasanta, without the use of 3D printing or industrial processes.

Each piece presents slight surface differences due to the casting process, guaranteeing the handcrafted authenticity of the work.
