"I HOPE" – Bronze sculpture patinated verdigris
Authorial proof
Artists: Francioni & Mastromarino | Studio: Pietrasanta, Tuscany (Italy)
"I HOPE" is more than a sculpture: it is a universal message of hope.
The female figure, nude and proud, cast in verdigris-patinated bronze according to the ancient lost-wax casting technique, stands with strength and grace on our planet – Earth, unique and fragile. The face is hidden by a mask: a symbolic gesture to represent all women, timeless and without a fixed identity.
On the abdomen is engraved #Ihope, a direct, strong message inviting belief in the power of dreams and regeneration.
The work is part of the Matrilineal collection, in which the maternal line, highlighted on the Earth's surface, represents the invisible thread that unites generations, cultures and hopes.
The globe is not merely decorative, but was made with eco-friendly ceramic plaster and recycled rice husk, innovative materials free of Portland cement. Art, in this case, is also an ethical choice: what one believes coincides with what one creates.
This sculpture is entirely handmade in the artists' studio in Pietrasanta – the Italian capital of sculpture – without the use of 3D printing. Each piece is unique, numbered, and finished in the finest details.
Technique: Lost-wax casting, manual modeling
Edition: 8 numbered pieces + 4 artist proofs

Packaging: Robust and sustainable
