Surreal sculptures by Francesca Dalla Benetta

STATEMENT

My sculptural work is built from human faces and bodies combined with textures, skins, and unexpected elements, giving life to fantastical beings.

Between Italian anatomical rigor and the exuberant imagination of Mexico, my work moves between the classical and the surreal. My pieces speak of contrasts, of belonging and self-perception, of adaptability, stereotypes, and categorization. I search for the subtle line that separates personal identity from social conventions, sanity from madness, perception from reality.

My figures remain still, their eyes closed, as if gazing inward. Each character, isolated in an intimate and unreal dimension, proposes reflections on the identity of the misfits and questions the human ability to discover oneself behind the masks and disguises we use to be accepted and to survive.

For me, sculpture is more than form; it is an affirmation of solidity in the face of the volatility of thoughts and emotions, crystallizing them into a stable, enduring image. In that permanence, I find a way to stop doubting, if only for an instant, reality—and myself.
