Original artwork description:

Title: La bella del porto
Artist: Antonino Puliafico (1969, Sicily)
Medium: Oil on canvas, palette-knife impasto
Size: 98 × 113 cm
Year: 2025

This vibrant seascape unleashes Mediterranean light in swirling chromatic bursts that echo lyrical Expressionism and late Impressionism. Puliafico, a master of tactile impasto, constructs the harbour as a living mosaic: lacquered reds on façades, acid greens in foliage, cobalts and turquoises across rippling water, pearly whites animating a sky in perpetual motion. Liquid reflections magnify depth, while moored boats hint at a moment suspended between calm and departure. The self-taught Sicilian—exhibited internationally and followed by an expanding online collector base—melds vigorous gesture with natural poetry, making this work ideal for design-driven interiors, luxury hotels, or corporate art programs. Acquiring Puliafico means investing in a contemporary Italian painter whose Mediterranean palette and unmistakable knife strokes drive consistent market appreciation.
