This piece is accompanied by a certificate issued by Mrs. Josefa Joya-Baldovino confirming the authenticity of this lot

Joya’s first works which were mostly representational gradually shifted to abstract painting during the late 1950s and became one of the leading painters in this genre. Yet Joya’s art reconciles opposing qualities and modes. In the 1970s he has also done paintings in ceramics.

In 1987, the French Government bestowed on him the “Order of Chevalier des Arts et Lettres”
