### **ARTIST’S NOTE**

*Bridge in Light* invites you to linger beneath a sun-dappled canopy where a slender footbridge spans a lively canal. Using thick, impasto strokes, **Antonino Puliafico** captures a mosaic of reflected colors—emerald leaves, lilac shadows, and flashes of crimson flags—each flickering across the rippling water.
The artist’s energetic palette-knife work turns every leaf, boat, and ripple into a sculptural gesture, fusing **modern impressionism** with bold expression. The result is a scene that feels both intimate and spirited, a perfect snapshot of leisurely life along a Venetian waterway. Whether admired up close for its delicious texture or from afar for its shimmering light, this painting radiates the joy of summer and the quiet poetry of passing moments.

Materials used:

First-rate oil colors of the Florentine brand "DI VOLO" applied with spatula were used for the painting, and the pictorial support is a cottono canvas pre-painted for oil painting with Gesso and Glue.
