Glacial Melody (2022) Original Oil Painting by Antonino Puliafico

'Glacial Melody', a masterpiece of modern art, is made in dripping technique on 100x150cm canvas, dated 2023. The reference to Pollock's abstractionism is evident, but this is no mere homage. The canvas, not entirely covered in colour, tells us a unique tale, set in an icy, musical dimension.

The colours used in 'Glacial Melody' take on a corporeity that touches the senses. One can almost feel the coldness of the blue and white hues, giving the impression of wanting to touch and feel the icy, crisp air of the depicted landscape. The fast but intense realisation of this work enhances the transient and fleeting nature of the glacial melody, while offering an artistic flavour that lingers long after the first viewing.

Like Puliafico, the artist of 'Glacial Melody' listens and tunes in to the rhythm and sound of the painting. One can almost hear the dull sound of the palette knife frantically waving on the palette, followed by the artist's delicate touch on the canvas. The result is a painting that speaks with colours, telling a story of icy melodies with echoes of Pollock.
