Francioni Mastromarino (1978) - La Concipiente nera

"La Concipiente" is a wall sculpture by Francioni Mastromarino.

Over the course of their careers, 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 largest portrait of Leonardo da Vinci in the world – over 5 meters tall and about 4 meters in diameter – today acquired in 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 durable enough for outdoor display, thanks to durable and sustainable materials.
The work embodies the Creator Woman, capable of generating not only in the body but also in the spirit and thought. In her, intuition, the ability to welcome and transform, emotional intelligence, and a deep understanding of the world are reflected. 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 Latin con-capere, means “to take unto oneself” and “to understand”: a double meaning that guides the inspiration of the work, reflecting the female power to absorb, feel, and create connections between interiority and the external world.

Signed in two hands by Eleonora Francioni and Antonio Mastromarino, the work springs from a long-standing 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 rice milling repurposed as a durable resource), resting on an aluminum sheet. The choice of materials embodies the artists’ search for concrete sustainability.
