Francioni Mastromarino (1978) - La Concipiente nera

"La Concipiente" is a wall sculpture by Francioni Mastromarino.
During their career, 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 and about 4 meters in diameter – today acquired by Pavia and officially recognized as a civic monument.

This work is a secular altar, conceived to be displayed with ease thanks to a hook on the back and resistant even to outdoor exposure, 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 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 the Latin con-capere, means "to take to oneself" and "to understand": a double meaning that guides the artwork’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 artistic and human collaboration that has lasted for over twenty years where artistic research is conceived in synergy.
Traditional techniques blend with a contemporary vision of form and symbol. The sculpture is made of acrylic resin mixed with rice husk (a by-product of milling polished rice turned into a resource and made durable), placed on an aluminum sheet. The choice of materials embodies the authors’ pursuit of tangible sustainability.
