With Heartbeats, KROMYA Art Gallery Lugano presents a new solo exhibition by Marco Casentini, developed in collaboration with Kambly, one of Switzerland’s most renowned heritage brands. The exhibition is part of the Kambly Art Collection 2026, a project that annually invites an artist to create a dialogue between contemporary art, design, and cultural identity.

The exhibition brings together Casentini’s new paintings on aluminum with an immersive installation that transforms the gallery space into a vibrant visual environment. Alongside the paintings, the exhibition features the art boxes designed by the artist for Kambly, an installation composed of the limited-edition boxes, a site-specific wall painting, and a selection of graphic works created especially for the project. The result is a multisensory experience shaped by rhythm, color, and light.

In Marco Casentini’s work, color is never ornamental; it is structural. His abstract compositions unfold like visual scores, where pure color fields, transparent overlays, and modular forms generate dynamic, architectural spaces. Painting becomes rhythm and pulse — a visual language deeply connected to memory, emotion, and luminosity.

The title Heartbeats refers to this pulsating quality of Casentini’s practice. The heartbeat becomes a metaphor for time, perception, and emotional resonance. His works seem to vibrate, establishing a direct relationship between visual order and sensory intensity, between geometric structure and poetic expression.

The collaboration with Kambly naturally aligns with this vision. As in Casentini’s painting, Kambly’s identity is rooted in precision, craftsmanship, and the careful balance between tradition and innovation. Heartbeats thus becomes a meeting point between contemporary art and material culture, between creative vision and shared values.

The exhibition unfolds as a visual and sensory journey, inviting visitors to move through space as one would through a musical composition — guided by rhythm, pauses, and variations. A path that fully reflects Marco Casentini’s artistic research and his ability to construct spaces of light and color in constant transformation.
