Francioni Mastromarino (1978) - La Concipiente nera

"La Concipiente" is a wall sculpture by Francioni Mastromarino.
During their careers, Francioni Mastromarino have participated 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 with 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 easily thanks to a hook on the back and durable enough for outdoor display, thanks to durable and sustainable materials.
The piece embodies the Creative Woman, capable of generating not only in the body, but also in 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 sculpture’s hairstyle, is a physical and symbolic place where ideas, emotions, and relationships intertwine to become new beginnings. The name “Concipiente,” from Latin con-capere, meaning “to take for oneself” and “to understand,” carries a double meaning that guides the work’s inspiration, 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 arises from a long-standing artistic and human collaboration of 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 husk (a by-product of the milling of polished rice repurposed as a resource and made durable), resting on an aluminum sheet. The choice of materials embodies the authors’ pursuit of tangible sustainability.
