#NEVERFORGET

The Diego Voci Project sends prayers and blessings to those affected by #9/11. In times like these we gather back to our roots and are brought back to our core.

Diego Voci; “The Little Church” #741-086 oil on canvas 40x30cm Private Collection

This “Little Church” is a reminder of our roots and Diego Voci always put family, friends and loved ones in the forefront of each of his living days. Diego’s love for life was insatiable and captured the essence of those days in all of our works.

THE VOICES ARE BEING HEARD!

 

MADONNA AND CHILD PART #5 SIXTY YEAR OLD PAINTING by Antonio #DIEGO Voci

Below is the “Madonna and Child” rendered by Diego in 1957 for his brother Tony. Diego created a few other great oil paintings to add to Tony and Lois Voci’s Private #Collection for him  to adorn the walls of their home in Pennsylvania.

“Madonna and Child” (1957 signed “D.Voci“) Oil on Board by Antonio Diego Voci (1920-1985)

1957 was a very full year, just like very other year was during Diego’s lifetime (1920-1985). Diego Voci invited his nephew Tony Voci to travel Europe with him while Tony was stationed in the Armed Services. Here is an excerpt of a great memory:

Tony Voci recalls driving with his artist Uncle and about every hour they would stop at a café for a smoke and espresso. To the surprise of Tony, Diego was greeted as “Diego” everywhere. “Diego” was his own #celebrity. Diego loved people!

Another nephew, Mario Voci, also shared two fun memories with his uncle Diego: https://diegovociproject.wordpress.com/2015/04/06/memories-of-uncle-diego-by-mario-voci-u-k/

MADONNA AND CHILD PART #3 Black #GOD + Persian #MARY = Mulatto #JESUS?

This is #3 in our countdown to Christmas Day featuring “Madonna and Child” portrayals by Internationally collected artist Antonio Diego Voci (1920-1985), one from 1966 and one from 1975.  Is the idea possible?

This DIEGO VOCI painting provoked 4 questions:
1. “Is God Black?”
2. “Was Mother Mary Persian?”
3. “Was Jesus Mulatto?”
4. “Does God have DNA?”

We’ll publish your comments. Email us at: diegovociproject@gmail.com.
