AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Unique sculpture by Francioni and Mastromarino: a tribute to Frida Kahlo, a symbol of feminism and revolution.

Bring home a piece of history and art with this extraordinary sculpture by Francioni and Mastromarino, dedicated to Frida Kahlo, an icon of resistance to patriarchy, feminism, and pop culture. This work is not just a portrait, but a genuine celebration of the indomitable spirit and revolutionary identity of one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.

A modern altar for Frida Kahlo
This new sculpture, conceived as a contemporary "altar," is framed by a solid aluminum structure and can be easily hung on the wall or placed on a surface thanks to its wide 8 cm base. A versatile design that fits any space, making it a focal point of inspiration and reflection.

Artistic and technical details
Masterfully crafted with attention to detail, this polychrome sculpture combines mixtures, pigments, and oxides to create a chromatic harmony that recalls the warm, earthy tones of ancient terracotta. Inspired by Frida Kahlo's self-portraits, the work captures not only her likeness but also her essence: a strong, passionate, and rebellious woman, symbol of freedom and creativity.

A work of art with a mission
This sculpture is part of an artistic project dedicated to women and femininity, the result of years of research and experimentation with durable, non-toxic materials suitable for outdoor use. Made collaboratively by Francioni and Mastromarino, an artistic and romantic couple, in their studio in Pietrasanta, Italy, the work is an example of extremely high-quality artisanal craftsmanship.

Traditional technique and authenticity
Every sculpture by Francioni and Mastromarino is created using the traditional clay model technique, without the use of 3D printers. This ensures a unique and unrepeatable piece, appreciated by collectors worldwide. Their creations are part of private collections in the Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg, Denmark, Belgium, Austria, Spain, Portugal, France, Romania, Switzerland, Finland, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Italy.

Certificate of authenticity and eco-friendly packaging
The sculpture is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artists and is shipped with an express courier, packed with wood shavings to minimize environmental impact. For shipments outside the European Union, the artwork includes a free export certificate, stamped and validated by the Export Office of the Superintendence of Fine Arts of Florence, part of the Italian Ministry of Culture.

Attention to international regulations
For shipments to Germany, we rely on the German LUCID register, ensuring the proper disposal of packaging and compliance with environmental regulations. Every detail is taken care of to ensure a safe, legal, and environmentally respectful delivery.

Don't miss the chance
This sculpture is more than a work of art: it is a symbol of struggle, creativity, and female identity. A unique piece that will enrich your collection and showcase your artistic and cultural sensitivity.
