Description from the seller
The Altarino of "La Papessa": An Iconic Work for Francioni Mastromarino
An Artistic Manifesto against what is more than a stereotype—a cultural archetype, the Patriarchy.
"The Altarino of La Papessa" speaks of gender dynamics and overcoming patriarchal conventions. The work is rich in symbols to be discovered through observation, such as the stylized bronze vulva that enriches the headpiece like a gem.
The materials used are sustainable: made of inert hydro-resin, flame-retardant and rice husk, an ethical choice that blends innovation with environmental respect not for marketing but as a modus operandi in all the artists’ works. The background in recycled sheet aluminum is patinated with silver-toned leaf.
The sculpture is a unique piece, artist’s proof III/IV.
Its design adapts to both modern and classical contexts, becoming the focal point of any space and a starting point for deep conversations about contemporary society.
"La Papessa" is a figurative and at the same time conceptual artwork that invites reflection on hierarchies of power and female emancipation.
Fruit of the collaboration between Eleonora Francioni and Antonio Mastromarino, artists active for more than twenty years, "La Papessa" represents their ongoing exploration of feminine identity and the use of eco-compatible materials. Their works are part of prestigious private collections in Europe and the United States, confirming the cultural and collecting value of their creations.
Certificate of Authenticity: Signed by the artists, guaranteeing the originality of the work.
Secure and Sustainable Shipping: The work is packed in a sturdy box for international shipping, cushioned with recycled cardboard chips.
Certificate of Free Export: For extra-EU shipments, the work is accompanied by an official document issued by the Soprintendenza delle Belle Arti di Firenze.
