Giuliano Collina — "From the Sky" at Galleria Diaz14

Galleria Diaz14 in Como hosts "From the Sky", an exhibition focused on Giuliano Collina’s paintings and sculptural work, running from 25 March to 9 May 2026. The show highlights recurring motifs in the artist’s practice and explores their poetic and spiritual resonance.

Themes and approach

The exhibition uses the sky as a central metaphor: not merely a painted subject but an organizing idea. Repeated motifs — doves, angels, rains and soul-like presences — are presented as components of a visual vocabulary that balances materiality and suggestion. The works invite reflection on presence and absence without resorting to straightforward narrative.
