Original artwork description:

"Magic Mirror", oil on canvas, 110x80 cm, 2023.

Specchio Magico (Magic Mirror) by Antonino Puliafico is an explosion of visual sensations, a tranquil river adorned with willow fronds swaying under the soft touch of the wind. On the surface of the water, small boats float, while the reflected light seems to dance, playing in a symphony of orange, yellow and violet.

Puliafico gives the viewer a tangible dimension to his work, inviting them to feel the texture of the oil, almost wishing to taste it, in a wide range of tones. His painting, extemporaneous, awakens fleeting sensations that echo at length, like the notes of a remembered melody.

A unique timbre of colours emerges: the orange of sunset, the yellow of diffused light, the violet of shadows. These colours tell a vibrant story, an emotional journey through nature painted with a bold and sensual brushstroke.

Puliafico's works are short visual symphonies, the artist immersed in the act of painting, listening to the intense rhythm of the palette knife on the palette, the muffled sound of the impasto of colour on the canvas. The pleasure Puliafico experiences in painting is both tactile and sonorous, a ballet of senses that illuminates his work.
