ARTIST’S NOTE
“Hidden Gems” offers a glimpse into a forest bathed in shifting colors and dappled light. Using a bold palette knife technique, Antonino Puliafico layers thick acrylic strokes to suggest dancing leaves and vibrant undergrowth. The interplay between cool violets and warm oranges creates a sense of depth, as if you’re stepping into a secret woodland glade shimmering with hidden treasures.

As the eye travels through the painting, small patches of unexpected color reveal themselves—tiny bursts of jewel-like tones that appear almost spontaneously. Puliafico’s distinctive style captures the essence of nature in motion, balancing abstract shapes with a clear sense of place. This piece is an invitation to explore the subtle magic found in everyday forests, awakening curiosity and wonder in the viewer.

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.
