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 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 hook on the back and resistant even outdoors, thanks to durable and sustainable materials.
The work embodies the Woman Creator, capable of generating not only in the body, but also in the 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 coiffure in the sculpture, is a physical and symbolic place where ideas, emotions and relationships intertwine, becoming new beginnings. The name “Concipiente”, from Latin con-capere, means “to take for oneself” and “to understand”: a double meaning that guides the inspiration of the work, which reflects the female power to absorb, feel and create connections, between interiority and the external world.
Signed by Eleonora Francioni and Antonio Mastromarino as a two-hand signature, the work arises from an 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 polished rice processing turned into a resource and made durable), supported on an aluminum sheet. The choice of materials embodies the authors’ pursuit of tangible sustainability.
