Antonio Pouioumen combines thickly spread acrylic paint with various materials. His works can be described as 'abstract-realistic', but they are so much more than this empty phrase. His works require a certain intellectual effort, they are almost never meaningless. His art is meant to challenge, educate and makes you wonder. The longer you look, the more you see on the canvas. For example, when he uses newsprint in his work, connections can be discovered in the texts shown. Poioumen has a clear signature through the special use of materials and structures.

With his work Poioumen commits himself to helping others. The profit of his art goes to the Poioumen Foundation. This foundation helps elderly in third world countries with microfinance for small-scale enterprises.
