Ka Ante Catalos, his beloved teacher, would pass away in 1993, but up to the last, Catalos gave Jojo and his young companions art instruction on a regular basis, even in his last months of illness. Jojo’s characteristics subject matter are white flowers- still life groupings of fresh, white flowers that serve to enhance the glimmer of glass and vase.
