### **ARTIST’S NOTE**

*Summer Evening Lights* distills the glow of a warm dusk into a cascade of lush colour. Using generous impasto strokes, **Antonino Puliafico** layers emerald, cobalt, and soft coral hues, suggesting treetops and riverbank foliage shimmering in the last beams of daylight.

A creamy sky melts into hints of pink and gold, while cool violets and blues ripple through the water below. The thick palette-knife work invites touch as much as sight—each ridge of paint catches light differently, echoing the sparkle of insects and the hush of twilight breezes. The scene feels at once abstract and familiar, capturing that fleeting moment when a summer day exhales into night.

Whether viewed up close for its lively texture or from afar for its radiant harmony, *Summer Evening Lights* brings the calm, reflective mood of an August sunset into any contemporary space.

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.
