ABOUT JOSIGNACIO: Born in Cuba, Josignacio is often credited with helping to refocus the Cuban contemporary art world from his native Havana to the Art World of Miami, Florida, the city that adopted him after leaving Cuba in 1989. Josignacio's extensive exhibitions (almost more than any other artist of his generation), have been well-covered in the media, particularly following his "Best in Show Award" in 1996. Josignacio earned this prominent prize during the Hortt 38 Show (the oldest and most prestigious Juried Art Show of Florida), which took place at the Museum of Art of Fort Lauderdale; the award was given to one of his plastic paint medium artworks from his 'Dualism Series': "The 3 O'clock". Josignacio's body of work consists of several series, which he has maintained open for more than 20 years. These series consist of 'Portrait Series', 'Dualism Series', 'Abstract Series', 'Yoruba Series', 'Tauromaquia Series', etc. With more than sixty Solo-Shows, his technique "Plastic Paint Medium" and his controversial exhibitions have redefined international expectations on Contemporary Cuban Art. Josignacio currently resides and creates his artwork in Miami Beach, Florida.
Laura Brunetti's well-known mantra is "Gratitude is the attitude" and lives her life as such. Her creative approach with art and philanthropy has empowered and inspired thousands of community members to assist with art workshops and seminars at risk youth programs and health care facilities.
