#DIEGO, THE INNOVATOR INCESSANTLY EXPERIMENTING
From the DIEGO Voci Collection ca. 1974, a piece from his glass painting series, the painting titled “Women and Blue Pottery” is done with Glass Paint on canvas.
DIEGO defies being put in a box. He was constantly experimenting. Glass paint was a real challenge. There is no second chance to change the paint once it hits the canvas. DIEGO’s sure hand is all the more evident in “Women and Blue Pottery”, one of a dozen known DIEGO works with glass paint.
If you know of others, let us know at the only authorized Diego Voci Archive, diegovociproject@gmail.com.

The Diego Voci Project is amazed that some wonderful Diego oil paintings are still being discovered for as little as a $1000 and sometimes less. It’s a “Buyers” Market for Diego and it’s time to consider Diego paintings as an investment.

ANOTHER #SURREALISM MASTERPIECE BY #DIEGOVOCI
This dramatic “Green Horse”, surrealistic in nature oil painting is owned by Stephen and Wendy Max in Edmonton, Canada. The depth in the “Green Horse” is as effective as wearing 3-D glasses. Stephen and Wendy’s collection of Diego Voci artwork began in the late sixties, and after all these years still numbers 27 pieces. Large numbers of Diego works per collector is not uncommon especially in Germany, Canada, Switzerland, Italy and USA.

A #DiegoVoci #Surrealism Masterpiece “Promenade”
Haunting blue eyes…
…is unique contrast to Diego’s frequent all black almond shaped eyes.
And a texture unlike any other… coarse strokes embedded in the beautifully executed oil paint causing a “wood like feel”.
Hints of de Chirico in the mannequin figure. A cross pollination of geometric shapes and organic forms all wrapped into a well rendered composition by the master, Diego Voci, unconfined by any style.

#DiegoVoci’s “THE WHITE HORSE” HAS TRAVELED THE WORLD
The White House, #683 80x60cm oil on canvas
The Provenance is the source of credibility to the life of a painting. The White Horse by Diego Voci began with Diego himself and then was placed into the hands of Naffouj Gallery in Germany, Diego’s representation at the time during the 1960’s (often identified by the wood wedges which Diego used during the Naffouj time period). The White Horse traveled back to Diego’s hands in the 1970’s (as it was placed in a frame that Diego’s wife, Helga Voci, made for the piece). The painting in 1973 was in an exhibition in Colorado Springs, Colorado at the famous Broadmoor Resort sponsored and hosted by Dr. Ogden Brown Family. After the exhibition, The White Horse traveled back to Diego’s hands in Germany then flew to Edmonton, Canada in 1981. Stephen Max acquired the painting as Diego’s representor for Canadian collectors in his Gold Crest gallery. The White Horse was purchased by art collectors Giselle and George Dean of Edmonton, AB, Canada.. where it has been ever since..

#DIEGOVOCI MASTERPIECE
“La Violenza“ by DIEGO Voci is definitely not just the nice painting that will match the couch. “La Violenza“ is a powerful DIEGO image that is disturbing to many viewers. The muscular strength and passion of DIEGO’s “La Violenza“ spoke loudly to international art collectors Patti and Coop Cooprider, who bought it directly from DIEGO in his Schwetzingen home / studio. Coopriders proudly displayed “LaViolenza” over their bed for over 35 years, now retired temporarily to storage, replaced by another Diego “Mandolin”.
La Violenza, #14919 1973 35 3/4″ x 41 1/2″ oil on canvas

SOLD $500 “FISHER PEOPLE” BY DIEGO VOCI
Helga Voci, widow of internationally collected artist Diego Voci said:
“Diego played cards with the Fishermen”
Diego specialized in portraying the common people. Diego with Helga at his side would seek out places to purposely live among them.
Fisher People, #1591-9, 41” x 30” oil on canvas
This painting is one of the very first when the signature “Diego” was applied to his canvas. How do we know?
- Joy Gibson was a Canadian art dealer based in Zweibrucken, Germany. Her stamp is on the back of the canvas.
- Joy was the one who influenced the artist to start signing “Diego” the nickname he was known by (formerly he signed some form of Voci as on the painting given to JFK in 1963 in Wiesbaden).
- This was before Joy married Dr. Jawdat Naffouj and added his last name to hers. Naffouj Gallery remains to this day in Landstuhl, Germany.
Stay alert. A Diego Voci painting may appear anywhere. This one was donated to Goodwill and just auctioned at $500.

#DIEGO Portrayal of a German #Supper
John and Cindy Silvers were stationed at #Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany from 1965 to 1968. In October of 1966 the Silvers’ acquired two DIEGO’s they presently still own: “Supper” and “Girl with Pitcher.” Joy Gibson-Naffouj in Landstuhl, #Germany represented DIEGO at that time. Shown here is “Supper” (60×80 cm):
“Supper” (in German “#Abendessen”). The hot main meal of the day in Germany is usually eaten at lunchtime. In the early evening as the last meal of the day one dines on bread with cold cuts and cheese. Wine or hot tea often accompany this typical dinner or “Supper”. In Diego’s rendition of the old man having ‘supper’ one observes the flame indicating it is evening, using the knife to perhaps cut some cheese or meat as his next bite, and a bread roll or “Brötchen” lies next to the plate. The glass of wine and the bottle are part of this old man’s meal. A very typical ‘supper’ in Germany in the day.
John adds, “The frames were made to look old and I don’t know who did that, but we like them. We wouldn’t sell the “Supper,” that will go to our youngest daughter Marni, who did a pencil drawing of it, which was quite good, so she loves the picture.”
An unfortunate health issue put Cindy in the Landstuhl Hospital in Germany – not far from where John worked at Ramstein AFB. She had a stroke at the young age of 29. John explained that Cindy was left with “whole right side paralyzed and she couldn’t speak, caused by aphasia. Her right leg came back about 85%; but above the waist, nothing. She was finally able to speak in speech therapy when she sneezed and the therapist quickly said, “What did you say, Cindy?” She said, “I love you John.” She is quite a fighter and never felt sorry for herself. Cindy raised their four children: John, Lori, Marni and Kevin to adulthood and was an antique dealer in an antique mall.” John retired from the Air Force as a Major in 1972 and then again in 1999 from the Insurance business. business. Cindy and John now reside in Colorado.
John added in a later e-mail to us here at the Diego Voci Project, “Actually, I just recalled that we purchased three paintings. The other was of a Arab man with very dark eyes. The man was just shown as a head and shoulder image. The size of the canvas would be the same and the frame also the same as the two pictured above. When we returned from Germany, a Doctor saw the painting and wanted to have it for his office, so we sold it to him. That’s all I can recall about the third painting.”
