ABOUT THE ARTWORK
La niña Ajolote is a bronze sculpture of a girl wearing an Ajolote costume . Ajolote is a Mexican endemic animal with a backbone that can regenerate the form and function of almost any limb, organ or other part of the body. It is a salamander with the unusual characteristic of retaining its larval features in its adult life. The axolotl is found only in the Xochimilco (pronounced Sochimilco) lake complex, near Mexico City. This piece is a tribute to the country of adoption of the artist, and it is also a metaphor of resilience, the ability to overcome difficulties and regenerate It is part of a project calles Los Niños y Sus Amigos Imaginarios (Children and their imaginary friends). It is a special tribute to Children’s nature, to their capacity to see through this reality, to maintain the innocence, to have faith in the impossible, to always hope, be spontaneous, be authentic. In this sculpture, the little girl has a Ajolote as a Guide and as a friend.: it is not clear if the animal is a dress or a pet, and the artist like to keep this mistery. Please remember that this piece is part of a serie of 8, and the patina (colors) can vary a little from piece to piece (I always try to make them the most similar, but part of the beauty of patinas is exactly their uniqueness).

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.
