 In his childhood Josignacio had been more motivated by color than by forms, a distinguishing factor in his artwork that was often noted among his older painters colleagues such as René Portocarrero, and Raúl Martínez (artist) closed friends of his family, which pushed and encourage him to keep in his abstract track.However, in his first art exhibition on March 2, 1987 in the Gallery of the Artistic and Literary Lyceum of Regla he included his self-portrait, which he did according to academic style, the rest of paintings were all abstracts.It was from this point of time, that his future as an abstract/neo-figurative painter had been decided.
