Omar Galliani's Cosmic Feminine at Tornabuoni Arte Florence

exhibition · 2026-05-05

Omar Galliani (born 1954 in Montecchio Emilia) presents a scenographic exhibition at Galleria Tornabuoni Arte in Florence, featuring large-format poplar wood panels depicting women, stars, and constellations. His intimate, silent painting style blends refined figuration with a dialogue between woman and universe as life-giving subjects. Light and shadow create intimacy, while delicate floral motifs inspired by Chinese lacquer painting adorn the works. The female portraits evoke high-fashion photography, suggesting sensuality and carnality. Floating objects recall Marc Chagall's dreamlike atmospheres. The minimal chromatic palette harmonizes with the gallery's minimalist exhibition spaces. The show emphasizes a soft painting style where objects float against a deep cosmic background. The article was written by Niccolò Lucarelli.
