“We were looking for just the right art for our public spaces at 185 Plymouth/NY and found them with Poby’s ethereal photos of the Manhattan Bridge and Brooklyn Navy Yard. Both the multiple exposure and scale of these photographs draws you in and connects you to the industrial history of the Brooklyn waterfront. They remind me of why I fell in love with Brooklyn 20 years ago.

“When I come home and see Poby’s beautiful large format “meditate” photograph I’m immediately at ease and peaceful. His photography inspires me.

“I was able to see this painting come to life by visiting Poby in his studio in DTLA. Seeing all layers and depth unfolding. Now I sit in my chair at night, listening to good music and look at this painting unfolding its magic even in low light. Simply wonderful.”

““The first time I looked at the piece that Poby painted of me, I was in shock because there was a larger-than-life size version of my face depicted on the wall in such a beautiful way that I couldn’t believe it! After a few moments of reflection, I started to see the painting a little differently, I felt a sense of awe at the depth of possibilities it represents. The strength, power, and confidence captured in those brush strokes are not just characteristics; they are aspirations. Poby’s painting is not me; it’s a version of me that others see and that I want to be. It’s a reminder of the resilience required to push through challenges and the beauty that comes from dedication and hard work. I and so many others aspire to the athlete and woman portrayed in that painting, knowing that with perseverance and determination, we can embody those qualities in our own lives. For me, this painting is a representation of the impact we can have on others, inspiring them to reach for their own greatness, as athletes and as people.
This work says a lot about who Poby is as a person and an artist. He is dynamic, insightful, and the beauty that he captures in his work is multidimensional. This beauty requires a second look, a third look to see and it reflects and then evolves. I’m excited to see what he creates next.””
