tramontana (2020) Original Oil Painting by Antonino Puliafico

Antonino Puliafico’s "tramontana" is an original oil painting on canvas in which sea, coast and the movement of water are reinterpreted through a contemporary, tactile language. Measuring 100 × 70 cm and dated 2021, the work balances immediate visual impact with close-range surface detail.

Through layered colour and expressive mark-making, Puliafico lets colour accumulate, break apart and reconnect across a visibly worked surface.

As an art critic, I am confronted with a visually striking work, "Tramontana," an oil on canvas measuring 100x70 cm, created in 2021. This painting masterfully captures the essence of an agitated sea under the influence of the tramontana wind, a force of nature that generates an atmosphere of tension and mystery.

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

For shipping, the canvas is carefully protected and sent in a heavy-duty tube with tracking, together with a Certificate of Authenticity.
