Francesca Rinaldi’s Bocca di Leone is a sculptural piece blending stone, clay, and plaster. Its compact size and textured materials create a delicate yet robust composition that captures attention. The title, translating to “Lion’s Mouth,” evokes imagery of strength and mystery, inviting viewers to interpret its connection to natural elements or mythological symbolism. By employing traditional sculptural techniques alongside modern aesthetics, Rinaldi bridges historical artistry with contemporary expression. This piece may serve as a metaphorical entry point into the artist's world, where tactile interaction and conceptual depth converge. Its modest scale and organic materials make it an intimate yet impactful work, challenging viewers to reconsider the balance between form, texture, and symbolic narrative.
