### **ARTIST’S NOTE**

*On the Way to Blue* is a jubilant celebration of color in motion. With sweeping palette-knife strokes, **Antonino Puliafico** builds a lively mosaic of turquoise, jade, crimson, and sapphire, evoking petals or leaves swirling across a hidden pond. Each thick stroke feels like a musical note, creating a visual rhythm that pulls the eye toward the painting’s deeper cobalt center.
Hints of white and pale lilac add glittering highlights, suggesting sunlight flickering over water. The piece balances spontaneity with harmony—an immersive dance where abstraction meets nature’s palette. Whether read as rippling reflections, drifting blossoms, or simply pure chromatic joy, *On the Way to Blue* offers an uplifting focal point for any contemporary collection.

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.
