Francioni Mastromarino (1978) - I hope 2026

Free Shipping Across Europe "I HOPE" – Bronze sculpture patinated verdigris 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, crafted in bronze patinated verdigris according to the ancient lost-wax technique, stands firmly and gracefully on our planet – Earth, unique and fragile. The face is hidden by a mask: a symbolic gesture to represent all women, timeless and without a 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 Matrilineal collection, in which the maternal line, highlighted on the Earth's surface, represents the invisible thread that unites generations, cultures and hopes. The globe is not just a decorative element, but was made with eco-friendly ceramic plaster and recycled rice husk, innovative materials free of Portland cement. Art, in this case, is also an ethical choice: what you believe in aligns with what you create. This sculpture is entirely handmade in the artists' studio in Pietrasanta – the Italian capital of sculpture – without the use of 3D printing. Each piece is unique, numbered and finished in the smallest details.
