About the Item
Statuario Carrara marble sculpture, iron base. 15 cm × 33 cm × 25 cm (5.9 in x 13 in x 9.8 in.).
The indicated dimensions include the iron base of the sculpture. The sculpture is maintained on the base with a rod but it is movable. Dimensions of the sculpture: 15 H x 20 L x 15 D cm (5.9 H x 7.8 W x 5.9 D in). Dimensions of the base: 0,5 H x 28 L x 25 P cm (0.2 H x 11.1 W x 9.8 D in).
This sculpture is part of the series Nests, Cocoons, Crysalis. The Nests, Cocoons, Chrysalises series, initiated in 2000, marks Francesca Bernardini’s first body of sculptural work. These closed forms, carved in marble, evoke intimate and sheltered spaces: nests suggest home and family, cocoons and chrysalises symbolize places of inner transformation and safety. This series emerged during a period of personal introspection, reflecting the artist’s desire to protect her loved ones and her longing for motherhood and connection.
Francesca Bernardini’s sculptures are characterised by soft, rounded forms and smooth surfaces. Deeply rooted in emotion and personal experience, they are shaped by the rhythms of nature and imbued with symbolic meaning. Each piece speaks to universal themes such as personal growth, the human need for connection, the respect owed to nature, and the cyclical nature of life.
The artist describes her creative process 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.”
