Francioni Mastromarino (1978) - La Concipiente nera

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

"Motions 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 by Pavia and officially recognized as a civic monument.

This work is a secular altar, designed to be displayed with ease thanks to a hook on the back and resilient enough for outdoor use, 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 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 Latin con-capere, means “to take to oneself” and “to understand”: a double meaning that guides the work’s inspiration, reflecting the feminine power to absorb, feel, and create connections between interiority and the external world.

Signed in four hands by Eleonora Francioni and Antonio Mastromarino, the work arises from an artistic and human collaboration that has lasted over twenty years where the artistic research is conceived in synergy.

Traditional techniques merge with a contemporary vision of form and symbol. The sculpture is made in acrylic resin blended with rice husk (a byproduct of the polishing of rice turned into a durable resource), mounted on an aluminum substrate. The choice of materials embodies the authors’ pursuit of concrete sustainability.
