Original artwork description:

Title: Isola Madre

Medium: Oil on canvas, palette‑knife impasto
Size: 79 × 94 cm
Year: 2025

A luminous sanctuary emerges amid swirling cerulean waters and cloud‑bursts of white, jade and lilac. With athletic knife strokes, Puliafico sculpts the lake’s gentle chop into facets of cobalt and ultramarine, while airy spirals race across the sky, amplifying the island’s sense of serene isolation. The ochre‑tiled roof and lush vegetation glow like gemstones, recalling Monet’s Mediterranean sojourn yet propelled into the present by Puliafico’s vigorous impasto. Light pools in the painting’s ridges, shifting with every glance—an optical magnet for contemporary interiors, boutique hotels or corporate collections seeking statement pieces of modern Italian art. Collectors attuned to palette‑knife island landscape, Mediterranean impressionist painting and vibrant wall art investment will recognise the growth trajectory of this Sicilian master.

Worldwide shipping is executed in a custom wooden crate, fully insured and entrusted to professional fine‑art couriers; certificate of authenticity included—arrival safe, ready to hang.

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.
