Artist of the Day, September 20, 2025 : Francesca Dalla Benetta, Italian-born, Mexican sculptor (#2371)

Step into the world of Francesca Dalla Benetta, a sculptor whose work blends classical techniques with surreal imagination. Learn about her journey from Italy to Mexico, where her passion for art and cinema shaped her unique approach. With over 20 years of experience, Francesca's career spans from creating special effects for film to crafting intricate sculptures. Explore her creative process, from initial sketches to the final piece, as she brings to life hybrid beings that challenge the boundaries between reality and fantasy.

Francesca Dalla Benetta's work is characterized by mixed anatomies and forms. Human faces and bodies are combined with different textures, skins and elements, giving rise to hybrid beings. Through her aesthetics, in balance between the classic and the surreal, the artist studies the themes of transformation, sense of belonging and self-perception, the ability to adapt, stereotypes and categorization. She searches for the fine line that separates personal identity from social conventions, sanity from madness, studying the differences between perception and reality.

Francesca's figures are a look inward and out of control, they are a way of containing the uncontainable. The stories of each character, isolated in an intimate and unreal dimension, are reflections on the identity of misfits and the many facets of being.

As an artist, her most important task is to communicate and stimulate a different way of feeling and thinking. She mainly resorts to sculpture because it is a lasting solidity in contrast to the volatility of the mind.
