Free Shipping Across Europe
The altar of “La Papessa” is a work that pushes the viewer to question the challenges faced by women in overcoming social conventions and to explore the concept of power and patriarchy in gender dynamics.
Through its presence in environments, La Papessa becomes a focal point for critical exploration of themes related to equality, women’s emancipation and the redefining of roles in contemporary society.
The combination of different blends, pigments and oxides makes this work harmonious with, ideal for any type of environment, modern or classic, like an old colored terracotta.

The vulva, symbol of fertility, on the headdress was made in bronze through lost-wax microcasting while the figure is in non-toxic hydro-resin and rice husk recovered from the processing of rice.
The work can be easily placed on a wall thanks to the hole on the back or rested on a surface.

The sculpture is the result of the synergy of two artists, Francioni and Mastromarino, a couple of art and love who have been working together for about 20 years in their Pietrasanta art studio in Tuscany.
