Original artwork description:

La Calma del Borgo – Antonino Puliafico

Medium: oil on canvas, palette knife
Size: 125 × 100 cm
Year: 2025

In La Calma del Borgo, Antonino Puliafico uses the palette knife to shape a landscape suspended between reality and memory. The vertical presence of the bell tower rises above a textured weave of colors, while red rooftops are mirrored in the water with a vibrant Mediterranean glow. Broad diagonal strokes animate the sky, creating a sense of motion that envelops the entire composition.

The thick impasto enhances the lagoon reflections, blending palette-knife painting with a refined chromatic sensibility. Layers of color build rhythmic energy, turning the village into a dynamic and semi-abstract scene. Puliafico’s signature style exemplifies contemporary Italian art, where material depth and atmospheric light converge into a powerful textured oil on canvas.

This work resonates with the vitality of a Mediterranean seascape, offering both abstraction and figuration. Its expressive surface and luminous palette make it a striking focal point for modern interiors and international collections.
