Puliafico Antonino

Verona, Italy

"Captivated by the play of light and reflections in the crystal clear waters of streams, my work is dedicated to capturing and transferring onto canvas the richness of colors and textures, creating a visual dialogue that speaks to the soul of the observer."
Born in Furnari (ME) and raised in the enchanting and sunny Sicily, Antonino Puliafico embarked on his artistic journey in 1990, exhibiting a profound passion and innate talent for art from the very beginning. His Sicilian childhood, filled with vibrant colors and breathtaking landscapes, significantly influenced his artistic development.

Since the start of his career, Antonino has embraced the use of oil colors, preferring the palette knife as his primary painting tool. This choice has led to the creation of textured and vividly colored works that resonate with the styles of the Impressionists and Divisionists. His canvases are a triumph of texture and hues, where each palette knife stroke adds a unique and tangible dimension to his compositions.

Throughout his career, Antonino has participated in numerous exhibitions and competitions, leaving an indelible mark in the contemporary art world. His recent participations include "Metamorphosis II - Art Exhibition in London" from September 22 to October 1, 2023, and the "SaturArte 2023 28th National Contemporary Art Contest", further solidifying his reputation as a prominent artist.

Antonino has also received numerous accolades, including the Luxembourg Art Prize Certificate of Artistic Merit for three consecutive years (2020, 2021, 2022), acknowledging his continuous artistic research and the quality of his works.

Currently residing in Verona, Antonino continues to explore new artistic horizons, remaining true to his vision and roots. His works are a dialogue between Sicilian artistic tradition and contemporary influences, bridging the past and present in each canvas. His art is not just a visual expression but an emotional journey that transports the viewer into a world of beauty, color, and passion.
