From October 22 to November 22, 2025, Candy Snake Gallery in Milan presents Stone and Coral, a dual solo exhibition by Diego Azzola and Gloria Tomasini.
The project creates a dialogue between the two young artists through a shared fascination with aquatic worlds. The details of stone fountain statues represented in Azzola’s paintings encounter the complex coral congregations modeled in ceramic by Tomasini, forming an interplay between solidity and metamorphosis, stillness and vitality.
Stone and Coral Candy Snake Gallery invites viewers into an environment where natural and artificial merge, and where matter itself becomes a living, evolving entity.
Diego Azzola (Bergamo, 2000) graduated from the Accademia di Belle Arti G. Carrara in Bergamo, completing his master’s degree in painting in 2025. His practice centers on a primal, vital amalgam—creation and destruction, assembly and disintegration—as the fundamental premise of his work. At the heart of his research lies the potential to generate new forms of life and to merge elements from contrasting realms. Through painting, installation, and sculpture, he explores the space between the natural and the artificial, searching for new hybrids and ambiguous identities that challenge the boundaries of life and individuality.
Gloria Tomasini (Lugano, 1999) is a Swiss-Croatian visual artist. She graduated from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan in 2022 and currently lives in Zurich, where she is pursuing a Master’s in Fine Arts at ZHdK. Her artistic process is rooted in manual craftsmanship and a meditative relationship with materials. Modeling becomes for her an introspective act, an entry into a suspended, timeless space where imagination and physical gesture intertwine.
Through delicate organic forms and detailed textures, Tomasini explores a tactile and sensorial perception of nature. Her ceramic works evoke microcosms—small ecosystems where fragility and resilience coexist, and where the material itself becomes experience.
Together, Azzola and Tomasini compose a poetic and subaquatic landscape, where artistic gesture follows the slow rhythm of natural transformation. In the rooms of Candy Snake Gallery, painting and sculpture converge in a suspended dialogue that invites viewers to immerse themselves in a fluid world of silent presences and continuous change.
The exhibition opens on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m., at Candy Snake Gallery, Via degli Orombelli 15, Milan.
