Original artwork description:

MEXICAN
Oil on canvas, 100x80 cm, Year (not specified)

Antonino Puliafico's work 'MESSICANO' offers a profound vision of culture and identity. The colours used by the artist, in this case, seem to be extracted directly from the land of Mexico itself: deep, vibrant tones that recall the traditions and landscapes of this nation. The central figure, a man with a hat, exudes the essence of tenacity and dedication to hard work, telling a story of resistance and passion. The strong-willed and determined features of the man are amplified by Puliafico's mastery in using the depth of colour. One cannot help but notice the speed of execution, as if the artist wanted to capture a fleeting moment, but the prolonged aftertaste of the image lingers in the viewer's mind, similar to the distinct and well-defined tones of the work. The rhythm of the artist's palette knife on the palette, the symphony of colours, and the almost carnal texture make 'MESSICANO' a triumph of tactile and sonorous emotions. An authentic celebration of humanity in all its nuances.
