"I HOPE" – Bronze sculpture patinated black
Limited edition – Only 8 numbered pieces + 4 artist's proofs
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, crafted in black patinated bronze according to the ancient lost-wax casting technique, stands with strength and grace on our planet – the 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 artwork is part of the Matrilinear 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 just a decorative element, but was made with eco-friendly geomalta and recycled rice husk, innovative materials free of Portland cement and petroleum derivatives. Art, in this case, is also a ethical choice: what one believes aligns with what one creates.
This sculpture is entirely handmade in the artists’ studio in Pietrasanta – Italy’s capital of sculpture – with no 3D printing. Each piece is unique, numbered, and cared for in every detail.
