Biography: A man of many talents, Jozza was eventually able to study law in Brazil and was also a skilled soccer player. He played for Atletico, one of the best state soccer teams. His soccer talent afforded him the opportunity to move to the United States in 1986 when he was invited to play for a professional team in San Francisco, CA. He lived there playing soccer and working for 4 years, also opening his own restaurant in 1988.
In 1990, Jozza returned to Brazil for 4 years, with art on his mind and his creative side stirring. He created some works on canvas, utilizing only his passion, raw talent and inspiration from within.
In 1996, Jozza relocated to Miami, FL with his wife, Tatiana, and 2-year old daughter, Jordanna, to pursue a career in art. Like many emerging artists before him, this was a time of great hardship. Jozza worked in the hospitality industry to survive, all the while working on improving his painting technique and structure.
In the year 2000, Jozza had his first exhibition at Biscayne Tower I in downtown Miami, and soon after, started to exhibit his artwork at different galleries, including Gallery Art in Aventura FL, Art Connection on Las Olas Blvd and Disney Cruise Line. Today, Jozza is represented in galleries across the USA, Spain, Germany, Brazil and Argentina.
Definition of style and artistic evolution is an ongoing process, but already Jozza has achieved so much in a very short time. Jozza has held successful exhibitions at the New York ArtExpo, one of the biggest art shows in the world, over the past ten years. In 2007, his collection was completely sold out. Jozza’s work has been featured in the Hollywood movie, Transporter II, directed by Louis Leterrier starring Jason Statham. In 2009, Jozza was given the rare distinction of being able to create original and limited edition fine art of the Disney characters, an honour bestowed on Peter Max before him.
