ABOUT THE ARTWORK

La mia casa is a bronze sculpture of a man with houses on his head, shoulder as a backpack and at his feet. The title means “my home” . The artist wants to remind to herself that home is where he is, and that our body is our real home, and that she can be well everywhere. This is a very dear theme to Francesca since she is far away from home and sometimes she need to remember that she is not lost. This piece is part of a special collection Francesca Dalla Benetta started in 2018, called Metáforas del Ser (metaphors of the being), and it is a reflection about how many costumes we wear in front of people, the society, family and so on. We have roles that are different for each person we meet in life, so we try to adapt and respond to that particular role. Sometime we align, sometimes we react. That’s how we build our personality. This piece has a black and green patina. The black patina is made from the green one, after the burning process, so magical and mystical. This piece is a unique piece.

STATEMENT: Francesca Dalla Benetta's work is characterized by mixed anatomies and forms. Human faces and bodies are combined with different textures, skins and elements, giving rise to hybrid beings. Through her aesthetics, in balance between the classic and the surreal, the artist studies the themes of transformation, sense of belonging and self-perception, the ability to adapt, stereotypes and categorization. She searches for the fine line that separates personal identity from social conventions, sanity from madness, studying the differences between perception and reality. Francesca's figures are a look inward and out of control, they are a way of containing the uncontainable. The stories of each character, isolated in an intimate and unreal dimension, are reflections on the identity of misfits and the many facets of being. As an artist, her most important task is to communicate and stimulate a different way of feeling and thinking. She mainly resorts to sculpture because it is a lasting solidity in contrast to the volatility of the mind.
