| My screen name is not a fantasy. It's my real identity. Not chosen artistically but discovered naturally. I'm a 48-year-old guy, born in Rio de Janeiro. In my youth, when I was passionately immersed in the world of surfing, a weird event brought to my consciousness the innermost dimensions of myself. It was the summer of 1979. In the early 80's, after some supernatural experiences, my childish cartoon-like drawings changed very fast, in a very strange way. The transformation was huge. Lines that usually outlined waves, surfers and surfboards became anatomically guided by some kind of heart's music (See Set 1980). Suddenly I found that my hand had acquired the uncanny ability to create Renaissence-like human figures. At that point, everyone noticed in my drawings the style of Michelangelo and called my attention to this. I didn't know who he was and nothing else about art's history. Surfing was my world and I had no intention to change my way of living (See Set 1981 and Set 1982). But the year of 1983 started with one of the most supernatural experiences of my life: the remembering of Vittoria Colonna's death just in front of me (She was the only woman with whom Michelangelo had a close relationship). Sunk in the emotional turmoil, my life turned upside down and a shocking conclusion rose after this memory: I am Michelangelo Buonarroti (See Set 1983). The battle between the normal logic of being and the madness that I was involved in took place. The result of this battle is the wood structure called Icarus (this sculpture was created to allow me an accurate comparison with the Rebel Slave), where I found a lot of 3-dimensional qualities defining my natural identity with Michelangelo (See Set Ícaro). I kept this secret for 25 years. The last decade I spent trying to pretend to be a normal guy with a normal life, but I'm not. Even though there are unsolved mysteries in the experiences I've been involved in, there is something I can't delay revealing anymore: Eurico Poggi and Michelangelo Buonarroti are the same person. Hello everybody! This is Michelangelo speaking. I'm the same in many ways, but very different in other personal aspects. Enjoy the opportunity! Ask me whatever you want! But take it easy, my fury is still here. Questions and comments: [link] [link] |

I will look arround on Flickr for Your works and hope to see more fantastic art coming from Your hand!!!
Almost everything that I posted here are from the 1984-1994 period. When I presented myself as Poggi, Carlos Poggi, Eurico Poggi, Carlos Eurico Poggi, in the 90's, everybody always asked me: "Hey, all these stuffs are from Michelangelo! Don't you have anything created by you?"
The remembering of Vittoria Colonna's death, in 1983, revealed my identity, and my art developed naturally as an expression of being who I am: MichelAngelo BuonaRoti. I spent 10 years drawing and sculpting to understand how my intuition works to create all those images. I got myself deep involved in a search for a proof of my identity as Michelangelo. At that time, two decades ago, I found a tri-dimensional pattern among my way of thinking the human body in space that offers endless physical proofs of my artistic identity.
I never desired to be an artist. I was just a surfer/shaper who was caught by a weird experience.
