Franco Puliti was born in Livorno, Italy.
After completing art school in Lucca, Tuscany, he immersed himself in the new generation of artists, post-Macchiaioli Toscani, the Italian equivalent of French Impressionists.
In the late 1960’s, he opened a studio in Livorno, Italy where he had permanent exposition until the mid- 1970’s.
He moved to the United States in 1980, continuing his art career and showing his work from coast to coast.
The careful geometric design and harmonious distribution of color throughout his work reflect his excellent artistic schooling and passion for his craft.
Puliti has mastered the techniques of watercolor and oils, producing paintings abundant with light and shadow.
His renderings that are painted in a hyper-realistic style known as 'trompe l'oeil' are often on the edge of being dreamlike.
He takes inspiration from the objects and scenery that surrounds him while chasing a sentimentality of his Italian youth.
