Foglia’s central theme is the exuberant foliage interacted by the hand of man. Foglia in Italian means leaf and this is the base of inspiration for his creations. With a palette of intense colors, inundated by light and shadow, Foglia creates an impression based on another reality, from another perspective in the same central theme:
The interaction of humanity with ecology.
Many of his paintings are joined with poems and prose, reflections on nature and the effect of the human race.
His works also include wearable art in metals and stones in unique pieces that echo the main theme based on nature.
