ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This new sculpture, "La Concipiente", is a limited edition piece on a yellow plate, of which only 8 pieces have been made, plus 3 artist proof pieces, all unique. The sculpture plate is equipped with a hook on the back for easy wall hanging and, thanks to the quality of the materials used, can be placed both indoors and outdoors, adapting to both classic and modern environments due to the figurative style and the chosen colors. "La Concipiente", whose name derives from the present participle of "conceive", generated the collection "The New Era of Matriarchy" created in collaboration between the two artists Eleonora Francioni and Antonio Mastromarino. This artistic and love couple used the traditional technique from the clay model to the negative cast for the realization of this sculpture, avoiding the use of 3D printing. The sculpture was made with eco-sustainable and recycled materials, minimizing the percentage of polluting substances. The plate was made of recovered aluminum, while the sculpture mixture contains the residual chaff from rice processing. Even the choice of wood shavings as a filler for shipping was made to reduce environmental impact. The sturdy box used for shipping is carefully packed. The reserve price, already intentionally low, takes into account the cost of production for this sculpture made with artisanal techniques. Eleonora Francioni and Antonio Mastromarino have worked together in their art studio in Pietrasanta, Tuscany for about 20 years. In recent years, their artistic production has focused on the female figure and the search for eco-sustainable and recycled materials such as industrial production waste. The works of Francioni and Mastromarino are present in private collections in many parts of the world, including the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, Spain, France, Portugal, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, Romania, United Kingdom, USA, and Italy. Their studio is located in Pietrasanta (Lu) in Italy.

The beginning of the artistic collaboration between Eleonora Francioni and Antonio Mastromarino dates back to 2004, the year in which they successfully presented a traveling personal exhibition entitled "Joys of the South" in Salento, Puglia. The exhibition centered on a collection of 10 hydro resin bas-reliefs, accompanied by silver jewellery. Their meeting gave birth to a fusion of artistic talents and visions. Since 2003, the desire to "make art" and gigantism pushes the duo to move to Pietrasanta, a city of art where they still live, dedicating themselves full time to sculpture. Their studio in Pietrasanta has become a place of creation and intense work, where ideas take shape and emotions are transformed into sculptures. Their art is the result of continuous research and a profound harmony that translates into works that are striking for their beauty and authenticity. Each piece is the result of a fusion of ideas, constant dialogue and deep mutual respect. In 2013 they created more than seventy small bronze and silver sculptures inspired by the futurist Bonetti. In 2015 they organized and participated in a large group show with over 100 sculptures and 20 artists in the historic center of Massafra (TA) with a catalog signed by Enea Chersicola from Trieste. Francioni and Mastromarino are the authors of two large sculptures on Leonardo da Vinci. The first in steel and resin, about 3 meters high, is located in the Bandinelli art forest in Greve in Chianti after being presented in 2014 on the lawn in front of the Palazzo Mediceo in Seravezza (LU) and inside the horticultural garden from Florence. The second in hydro resin depicts the senile portrait of Leonardo and is made from a negative in plaster on a clay model, acquired by Riso Scotti, exceeding 4 meters in height. In 2019 they participate in the urban exhibition Art to not sleep - Motions of the soul – Tribute to Leonardo curated by Alberto Bartalini and his staff with the artists Gustavo Aceves, Emanuele Giannelli, Giuseppe Carta among others. Also in 2019, the large sculpture was exhibited at the Medici Palace in Seravezza for Cibart and finally in Piazza del Municipio in Pavia for the Looking for Monna Lisa exhibition which ended in June 2020 with a catalog edited by Valerio Dheò. Research on the use of sustainable materials is a fundamental element in Eleonora and Antonio's work.
