About Poc a Poc

Hola!

My name is Mark Southgate, welcome to my website Poc a Poc Ibiza.

I am an artist and maker from Brighton in the UK. After many years, working as a charity fundraiser in London, I retrained as an upholsterer an felt I had finally found my vocation.

During a trip to Ibiza in 2005 I fell in love with the natural beauty of the place and the relaxed pace of island life. Eight months later I moved here permanently. 

Poc a poc is Catalan for ‘little by little’ and this became my mantra after moving here as I adjusted to settling in to a new culture. It was the name I gave to my first dog, an Ibizan hound  (Podenco). The phrase has evolved into my brand name and encapsulates my approach to life.

Poc-a-poc Ibiza  exhibits and sells my own original artworks and art workshops for individuals and groups.  

Enjoy the website and do contact me for more information about my work and services available.
