DIEGO & HORSES! He loved the majestic presence, the powerful muscles showing their strength, and the images he’d seen be Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci. Diego felt the power.
Each work created here by DIEGO VOCI shows how Versatility was Diego’s strength. Driven to experiment in every genre while remaining distinctly Diego.
Helga Voci, (widow of DIEGO Voci) shares the behind the scenes in these photos of DIEGO.
“These 2 photos were taken in Diego’s studio in Taunusstein, Germany sometime in the 80’s. This was his easel and the place where he spent most of his time.”
Versatility was Diego’s strength. Driven to experiment in every genre while remaining distinctly DIEGO.

This unique work of art by Diego titled “Cavaliere” has more than just the stature of a knight; “Cavaliere” has the essence of strength that Diego often portrayed in his paintings whether it be fisherman, laborers, and female nudes. The majority of Diego’s paintings harnessed a feeling of strength no matter what life looks like. Diego understood how horses connect with humans and painted horses of all genres… from realism to abstraction.
“Cavaliere”, 1972, was purchased by Walt Lawrence at Diego’s home / studio in Schwetzingen, West Germany. This painting has been in the Walt Lawrence’s art collection all this time (over 42 years). This is one of 11 Diego’s Walt Lawrence has in his collection. Walt recalls Diego as a genuine man who truly liked to invite people into his studio to see the process of his work whether the painting was finished or not.

“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
