Resin, marble and mixed media

ALTER EGO is a resin sculpture adorned with mixed-media flowers that sprout delicately from the figure's shoulders and crown. The piece depicts a humanoid bust with soft, pale features, a serene yet introspective gaze, and a surreal extension resembling animal bones. The juxtaposition of fragile blossoms with the skeletal forms reflects a dialogue between life and death, delicacy and resilience. Subtle touches of color on the flowers and the figure’s flushed cheeks add warmth and life to its otherwise muted tones.

This sculpture belongs to the collection "Where Flowers Are Born", which explores themes of transformation, rebirth, and hope. Each piece in the collection, often monochrome and white, incorporates floral elements as symbols of life emerging from decay. Through this piece, the artist invites reflection on the beauty of metamorphosis and the enduring power of nature and humanity to thrive even in adversity.

Artist Biography

Francesca Dalla Benetta, an Italian artist living in Mexico, conducted her studies at the Academy of Arts in Milan. Since 2004 she had been dedicated to the realization of special effects and sculpture for the movie industry, and thanks to this profession she learned modeling techniques that she begun to transpose into her personal work as an artist.
Francesca arrived in Mexico in 2006 with the production of the film Apocalypto by Mel Gibson, and she decided to stay for professional reasons. The surrealist influence of life in Mexico, together with the love for cinema and fantasy literature, determined her style and concept in a decisive way. Her work investigates the fantastic anatomy, dreams, self-identity, transformation and spiritual evolution, the sense of belonging, loneliness, the connection between human beings, with the cosmos and with the divine.
In her career, Francesca has 25 individual exhibitions (Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de San Luis Potosí, Museo Metropolitano de Monterrey, Galeria Oscar Roman, Fundación Sebastian, Galeria de la Universidad Iberoamericana, Espacio y Lugar, Aguafuerte, Galeria Malaga etc) and numerous collectives (Galeria Corsica, Galeria Oscar Roman, Ex Teresa among others) and numerous collectives in Mexico and Italy. Her work has been reviewed in specialized art magazines (Horizontum, Scenario, La Razon, Milenio Diario, El universal, Distrito Global) as well as in numerous cultural programs on radio and television (Milenio TV, Channel 22, Channel Once, El Matutino TV, El financial TV among others).
Part of her career consists of dedicating herself to teaching plastic arts and characterization: for 9 years, she has been training new talents in the artistic and cinematographic field.

Artist Statement

My 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 my aesthetics, in balance between the classic and the surreal, I study the themes of transformation, sense of belonging and self-perception, the ability to adapt, stereotypes and categorization. I look for the fine line that separates personal identity from social conventions, sanity from madness, studying the differences between perception and reality.
My figures are a look towards the interior and the lack 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, my most important task is to communicate and stimulate a different way of feeling and thinking. I mainly resort to sculpture because it is an affirmation of solidity in contrast to the volatility of thoughts and emotions: it consolidates and crystallizes them into a permanent and lasting image, it is a perfect tool to stop doubting reality and oneself.
