Petralia Sottana (2026) Original Oil Painting by Antonino Puliafico

Antonino Puliafico’s "Petralia Sottana" is an original oil painting on canvas in which architecture, houses and surrounding landscape are reinterpreted through a contemporary, tactile language. Measuring 100 × 115 cm and dated 2026, the work balances immediate visual impact with close-range surface detail.

Through palette knife and impasto, Puliafico lets colour accumulate, break apart and reconnect across a visibly worked surface.

Petralia Sottana is a contemporary landscape painting that transforms a Sicilian hill town into a vibrant field of light, structure, and atmosphere. Painted entirely with a palette knife, the composition is built through dense oil impasto and expressive directional strokes.

The work balances immediacy and detail, offering both a strong visual impact in the room and a richly textured surface for close viewing.

The artwork is professionally protected for tracked shipping and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
