Francesca BernardiniUnder the skin by Francesca Bernardini - Abstract sculpture, petit granit, glaze2014
2014
About the Item
Under the skin is a unique petit granit and glaze sculpture by contemporary artist Francesca Bernardini, dimensions are 16 × 30 × 24 cm (6.3 × 11.8 × 9.4 in).
The sculpture is signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
The artist's debut work was the 2000 series Nests, Cocoons, Crysalis. The sculptures in this collection are enclosed structures that evoke private, secure spaces: nests stand in for the home and the family, while cocoons and chrysalises are secure enclosings where one grows and changes in total safety. The sculptor's need to defend those she loves as well as her desire for a family and motherhood gave birth to the series during a personal internal exploration.
The smooth, rounded forms of Francesca Bernardini's marble sculptures are based on mental states, feelings, and individual experiences. The forms and volumes that give them shape are frequently influenced by the natural world and are rich in symbolism connected to enduring themes, such as individual growth, the value of interpersonal relationships, respect for nature, and the life cycle.

Francesca Bernardini’s marble sculptures, with their smooth, rounded forms, are rooted in states of mind, emotions and personal experiences. The shapes and volumes that give them form are often inspired by the natural world and are loaded with symbolism linked to universal themes: personal development, the importance of human interaction, respect for nature and the cycle of life. Francesca Bernardini participates in numerous sculpture symposia around the world such as in Morocco, Turkey, Taiwan, Chile, Iran and Brazil. During these professional excursions, the sculptor has the opportunity to create monumental sculptures. “Inspired by the observation of the microcosm of the natural world, my work highlights particular details and distorts dimensions, my forms becoming containers of past life or of inner or emotional metamorphoses.”
