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 world’s largest portrait of Leonardo da Vinci – over 5 meters tall and a diameter of about 4 meters – today acquired by Pavia and officially recognized as a city monument.

This work is a secular altar, designed to be displayed with ease thanks to a back hook and resistant even outdoors, thanks to durable and sustainable materials.
The piece embodies the Creator Woman, capable of generating not only in the body but also in 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 both 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, which reflects the feminine power to absorb, feel, and create connections between interiority and the external world.
Signed four-handedly by Eleonora Francioni and Antonio Mastromarino, the work arises 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 view of form and symbol. The sculpture is realized in acrylic resin mixed with rice husk (a waste from the processing of polished rice turned into a resource and made durable), resting on an aluminum sheet. The choice of materials embodies the authors’ search for concrete sustainability.
