Description from the seller
Artist: Antonio Sciacca
Title: Mediterranean Horizons
Technique: Enamels on canvas
Dimensions: 70 cm x 50 cm
Features: Autograph signature in the bottom right in white.
The work presents itself as a three-part horizontal composition, in which Sciacca uses enamel to achieve a glassy luster and an uncommon depth of color.
The Upper Register: It dominates a deep Prussian blue, almost nocturnal, worked with an uneven application that lets underlying textures show through, evoking a stormy sky or a marine abyss.
The Central Band: It is the luminous fulcrum of the work. A sequence of vertical brushstrokes of cadmium yellow and ochre creates a violent and dynamic contrast. This "heart" of light seems to vibrate, giving the work a strong energetic component.
The Base: A band of burnt earth red and brown serves as a visual ballast, giving stability to the composition and recalling the carnality of the Sicilian land, often present in the artistic DNA of the author.
In this canvas, Antonio Sciacca demonstrates his mastery of materials. The enamel is not merely color, but becomes a reflective substance that interacts with ambient light, changing the appearance of the painting depending on how it is illuminated.
The work abandons figuration to focus on pure emotion. The choice of the 70x50 format is ideal for enhancing both private collections and modern spaces, as the strength of color “fills” the wall without overpowering it. It is an investment in a phase of the artist that favors instinctive gesture and chromatic power over cultivated citationalism.
