Francioni Mastromarino (1978) - La Concipiente nera

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

"Moti dell’Anima" 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 displayed easily thanks to a back hook and resistant even outdoors, thanks to durable and sustainable materials.
The piece embodies the Woman Creator, capable of generating not only in the body but also in spirit and thought. In her reflect intuition, the ability to welcome and transform, emotional intelligence, and a deep understanding of the world.
Her "nest", which inspires the sculpture’s hair, 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 inspiration of the work, reflecting on the female power to absorb, feel and create connections between interiority and the external world.
Signed in two names by Eleonora Francioni and Antonio Mastromarino, the work comes from an artistic and human collaboration that has lasted over twenty years, where artistic research is conceived in synergy.
Traditional techniques merge with a contemporary vision of form and symbol. The sculpture is made of acrylic resin mixed with rice hulls (a by-product of rice processing, upgraded into a durable resource), resting on an aluminum sheet. The choice of materials embodies the authors’ pursuit of tangible sustainability.
