"I HOPE" – Bronze sculpture patinated with verde antique patina
Author'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, cast in bronze patinated verde antique according to the ancient lost-wax technique, stands with strength and grace on our planet – Earth, unique and fragile. The face is hidden by a mask: a symbolic gesture to represent all women, timeless and without fixed identity. On the abdomen is engraved #Ihope, a direct, strong message inviting belief in the power of dreams and regeneration.
The work is part of the Matrilinear collection, in which the maternal line, highlighted on the surface of the earth, represents the invisible thread that unites generations, cultures and hopes.
The globe is not merely a decorative element, but it was made with ecocompatible ceramic plaster and recycled rice husk, innovative materials free from Portland cement. Art, in this case, is also an ethical choice: what one believes coincides with what one creates.
This sculpture is entirely handmade in the artists' studio in Pietrasanta – Italian capital of sculpture – without the use of 3D printing. Each piece is unique, numbered and cared for in every detail.
Technique: Lost-wax casting, manual modeling
Edition: 8 numbered pieces + 4 artist's proofs

Packaging: Robust and sustainable
Shipping: Traceable express courier across Europe and beyond
Pickup: Available at the artists' studio in Tuscany (Italy)
