CONEJOS is a epoxy sculpture of a fantastic creature between rabbits (conejos in Spanish) and humans with a mask.
It is part of a project called Unconventional Beauty, where the artist is interested in working with fantastic creatures and deformed anatomies in order to find the fascination and the tenderness in the ugly. She looks for an anti-classical esthetics, more interested in what can shock and call the attention. Francesca is experimenting with materials and with forms, and this is her very firs collection as a sculptor.
Her influences in this period are fantastic movies and literature, Sci-Fi, cyberpunk, filmmakers as Lynch, Cronenberg and Swankmayer. She is interested in dreams as a way to cut off rationality from choices.
