“D’Accardi’s world is one of subtle evocation of colour, grounded in contrapuntal harmony and rhythms of delicate play that have the intimacy of a dream. “For me, everything has an indefinite enchantment”. It becomes evident how his painting justifies itself: with the kindness of a temperament that of things and nature, and of their relationships and contrasts, only captures what is reflected in his spirit, inclined towards the fragmented poeticism of detached moments, of isolated accents that vibrate like long, held-down notes, provoking a state of mind of adhesive sympathy. A spring freshness insures his paintings against every wise triviality. The aim is the creation of an atmosphere based on a unity of vision, sometimes starting from musical rhythmic assonances, sometimes from a central nucleus of colour, which spreads romantically towards infinity in which even the figurations, no longer notes, become notes of a dreamed symphony.”

Attilio Podestà, Il Secolo XIX, 1939
