SAMANTHA KEITH, ‘Ester Pugliese,’ artist feature, www.freshcontemporary.net, July 8, 2017

“Pugliese’s work uses mixed media composition layered with organic and synthetic forms to present the viewer with ideas on human degradation and the disassociation people have with their natural environments, favoring instead synthetic, material possessions.” – Samantha Keith

ELIZAVETA MIRONOVA, ‘Elizabeth Babyn and Ester Pugliese at Loop,’ ARTORONTO.CA, February 12, 2017

“Pugliese’s paintings take the viewer into a tranquil pleasure state…Orange, red, and purple hues are erupting in the background then covered with drawing to form something between a flower and a firework. It’s electrifying but the longer you look at it, the happier and more peaceful your mind becomes.” – Elizaveta Mironova
