ARTIST’S NOTE
In “Reflected Silence,” Antonino Puliafico delivers a striking vision of rugged mountain peaks mirrored in still waters. The artist’s confident palette knife strokes sculpt thick layers of warm earth tones and vibrant blues, conveying the powerful juxtaposition of rock and sky. Each stroke contributes to a sense of grand scale, while the reflection doubles the drama, inviting the viewer into a moment of quiet awe.

The rich contrast between fiery reds and oranges in the mountains and the cool, deep blues of the lake below emphasizes a delicate balance between energy and serenity. Puliafico’s hallmark impasto technique gives the painting a lively texture, as if the scene is pulsing with silent potential. “Reflected Silence” distills the essence of nature’s grandeur into an experience both meditative and exhilarating—a reminder of how landscapes can stir our deepest emotions without making a sound.

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.
