About this artwork
Il Giorno means The Day in italian. The sculpture depicts a serene and majestic male figure with flowing headdress suggesting ascension with an eagle in flight on his chest symbolizing freedom and trascendence.
Il Giorno represents the counterpart o La notte, both sculptures represent the duality between day and night, male and female, good and bad... the duality of live that can be found in everyone

« The stories of each character, isolated in an intimate and personal dimension, are reflections on human values, perceptions and emotions. »
Francesca Dalla Benetta is an Italian sculptor based in Mexico. After 10 years working as a makeup artist in the film industry, Dalla Benetta is now a dedicated full-time artist. Her work is characterized by anatomies and mixed forms. Faces and human bodies are combined with different textures, skins and elements, giving rise to hybrid and fantastic beings. Through unusual, strange and surreal bodies, her pieces focus on the problems of transformation, identity, the sense of belonging, self-perception and dreams.
