ARTIST’S NOTE
“Veiled Mountain” offers a dynamic encounter between a sweeping sky and a mist-kissed summit. Antonino Puliafico applies thick, layered strokes of oil paint to convey the swirl of winds and shifting light across the landscape. The palette knife work creates lively textures, giving each color a tactile, sculptural quality that adds depth and energy to the canvas.

A vibrant blend of blues, greens, and purples suggests the sky’s changeable moods, while bold splashes of reds, oranges, and pinks bring warmth and contrast to the scene. The solitary tree in the foreground, captured in mid-breeze, anchors the composition, offering a sense of stability amidst nature’s constant motion.

This painting reflects Puliafico’s gift for fusing modern impressionism with expressive gesture, resulting in a piece that simultaneously depicts a tranquil panorama and a world alive with possibility.

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.
