About this artwork
LOBO is a bronze bust of a man with a wolf mask.
The title means Wolf. The wolf is a symbol of courage and bravery, guardianship, and loyalty. A wolf is strong in its instincts, does not waver and knows who it can trust. They teach us to trust in our hearts and minds and to be in control of our own destiny.
As the piece is available on request, allow 3-4 weeks to be shipped.
This piece is part of a special collection Francesca Dalla Benetta started… in 2018, called Customs and Identities, and it is a reflection about how many costumes we wear in front of people, the society, family and so on. We have roles that are different for each person we meet in life, so we try to adapt and respond to that particular role. Sometime we align, sometimes we react. That’s how we build our personality.
This piece has a black and white patina.

« 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.
