Francioni Mastromarino (1978) - We should all be feminists

Francioni & Mastromarino – “We Should All Be Feminists”
Original sculpture in geomalta and rice husk | Unique piece numbered 8 | 2025

During their career, Francioni Mastromarino have taken part in prestigious international exhibitions, including:

“Motifs of the Soul” in Pontedera
“Looking for Monnalisa,” where they presented a monumental sculpture: the largest portrait of Leonardo da Vinci in the world – over 5 meters tall and a diameter of about 4 meters – today acquired by Pavia and officially recognized as a city monument.

The sculpture We Should All Be Feminists shown in this lot is the declaration of Francioni Mastromarino’s artistic research. The sculpted face, with elegant and modern features, blends harmoniously with a hairstyle that evokes the grandeur of classical eras. Between the hair, a stylized vulva reveals itself as a symbolic diadem, highlighting the generative and spiritual strength of the feminine. A distinctive element of their poetics, which fuses aesthetics and message with refined audacity.

A Manifesto Title
We Should All Be Feminists is an invitation, a statement, a warning. In a context still influenced by patriarchal archetypes, the work becomes a tool for reflection on the strength, courage, and complexity of female identity.
Thus the sculpture becomes a symbol of a new matriarchy: evolving, aware, powerful.
Woman, life, freedom. The Veneras of Francioni Mastromarino are rebellious poets, poets of sin!
