• About the artist

  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. Aware of the importance of preserving and protecting the environment, they are dedicated to using eco-friendly, recycled and regenerated materials for their creations. Their dedication to sustainability results in works of art that not only excite, but also help preserve our precious planet.

  Over the years, Eleonora and Antonio have participated in numerous art exhibitions, fairs and collectives in Italy and abroad. In their artistic career, they have addressed themes of great sensitivity and emotional impact, focusing on motherhood understood as expectation, project, goal and psychophysical metamorphosis that generates new life. This work has evolved into an in-depth research on the female universe. Each of their creations is a testament to the courage and transformation that characterizes women's lives. Through their ability to bring matter to life, they transform their interest in the female world into sculptures that capture the soul and essence of every woman.

  They collaborate with some Italian contemporary art galleries, such as the Laura Tartarelli Contemporary Art Gallery in Pietrasanta and the OXO Gallery in Barga. Furthermore, as independent artists, they also promote and spread their art through social channels, online auctions and their new e-commerce.

  Eleonora Francioni was born in Florence on July 4, 1978 and attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence; Antonio Mastromarino was born in Massafra (TA) on 23 September 1978 and is self-taught.
