"I HOPE" – Verdigris patinated bronze sculpture
Artist's 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, created in verdigris patinated bronze using the ancient lost-wax casting technique, stands firmly and gracefully 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 belly 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 just a decorative element, but is made with eco-friendly ceramic plaster and recycled rice husk, innovative materials free of Portland cement. The art, in this case, is also an ethical choice: what one believes in equals what one creates.
This sculpture is entirely handmade in the artists’ studio in Pietrasanta – Italian capital of sculpture – with no 3D printing. Each piece is unique, numbered and attended to in every detail.
Technique: Lost-wax casting, hand modeling
Edition: 8 numbered pieces + 4 artist's proofs
