Poggio Di Poggio's creations offer observers a direct encounter with reality, transforming passive viewing into an immersive experience. His use of square formats—neutral spaces that overpass traditional landscape or portrait orientations—beckons viewers to pause, reconnect with the present moment, and embrace a sense of calm, silence, and serenity.
The artist's authenticity is evident in his choice of simple, natural materials, which provide an accessible and immediate connection for all who engage with his work. This return to essentials evokes the beauty of nature and life, embodying universal truths. Beneath the apparent simplicity of his pieces lies a profound complexity that doesn't need to be explained nor discussed.
Poggio Di Poggio's works are sensitive to the emotional and spiritual states of their observers, the spaces they inhabit, and the light that illuminates them, creating a dynamic interplay that heightens their sensitivity and impact.
Claude Monet, the painter who most significantly influenced and inspired Poggio Di Poggio, is reflected in his pursuit of capturing light and beauty.
Poggio Di Poggio lives and works in Bruges, Belgium, and Sanremo, Italy.
The studio located in the historic city center of Bruges is open to art lovers and art collectors on request
