About the Item
Between Sky and Sea is a unique Statuario Carrara marble and glaze sculpture by contemporary artist Francesca Bernardini. The dimensions are 14 × 43 × 35 cm (5.5 × 16.9 × 13.8 in).
The sculpture is signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
The From the Abyss series originates from the artist’s visual and sensory memories—most notably, those rooted in her childhood in Sardinia, where she lived until the age of ten. During her time on the island, she discovered the sea’s hidden treasures: anemones, shells, molluscs, and other marine forms. These natural wonders are reinterpreted in her sculptures as compact, elliptical, and minimalist shapes—imbued with the raw, explosive energy of nature. In these works, colour emerges through delicate enamel details on marble, symbolising a yearning to reconnect with the wonder and purity of childhood. With this series, the artist communicates a powerful message: a profound respect for nature and a call for its preservation.
Francesca Bernardini’s marble sculptures, characterised by their smooth, rounded contours, are deeply connected to emotional states, inner reflections, and personal memory. The organic forms she creates are often drawn from the natural world and carry symbolic resonance with universal themes—personal growth, the value of human connection, reverence for nature, and the cyclical rhythms of life. She encapsulates her artistic vision in these words: “Inspired by the observation of the microcosm of the natural world, my work emphasises particular details and distorts dimensions, my forms becoming containers of past life or of inner or emotional metamorphoses.”

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.”
