Collecting Original Work by JoCa
Every painting JoCa offers is an original — a unique oil on canvas with no edition and no reproduction. This page explains what that means in practice: the method, the materials, the sizes, and how a work reaches you. To see the full body of work, go to the original oil paintings.
Which JoCa paintings are available now?
Echoes of Haworth sold out on its opening night in September 2026. Three original paintings are available now through JoCa's gallery, Art of NOMA:
- La Bruja — oil on canvas
- Self Assemble 1 — oil on canvas
- Self Assemble 2 — oil on canvas
New work is released in small groups and often finds collectors before it reaches the site. To hear first, get in touch or join the list at the foot of this page.

- Sizes run from intimate 45 × 45 cm studies to 150 × 150 cm canvases.
- Works ship either stretched on a wooden frame, ready to hang, or rolled in a tube, ready for framing — stated on each product page.
- Limited edition prints have been discontinued. Originals only.
What does non finito mean in JoCa's work?
Non finito — literally “not finished” — is the method the paintings are built on. A face is worked up and broken down in the same image: features build and dissolve through layered, interrupted marks, so a portrait reads closer to a memory than a likeness. The unresolved surface is the argument, not an accident of process.
That method carries the central subject. JoCa's work sits at the intersection of identity, technology and societal transformation — particularly the anonymity and hyper-reality of social media and virtual environments, where self-image is continually reformed under filters, surveillance and avatars. The fragmented face is what that condition looks like.
How is an original different from a print?
An original is a single physical painting in oil on canvas. There is exactly one, and once it is acquired it is gone. A print is a reproduction produced in an edition. JoCa produced limited edition giclée prints for about a year and has since discontinued them in order to focus solely on original works, so everything currently offered on this site is an original painting.
What size should you consider?
The intimate works — around 45 × 45 cm — reward close, sustained looking and suit a reading corner, a hallway or a desk wall. The mid-range, roughly 65 × 65 to 108 × 80 cm, holds a room without dominating it. The largest canvases, up to 150 × 150 cm, are architectural: they set the tone of a whole wall and need viewing distance to resolve. Exact dimensions in both centimetres and inches are on every product page.
How does a painting reach you?
Works ship from the studio within 3 to 5 business days. Some pieces travel stretched on a professional wooden frame and arrive ready to hang; others ship rolled in a tube, neatly packaged and ready for framing. Each product page says which applies. Recent works include a certificate of authenticity, and some are hand-signed and dedicated to the collector who acquires them.
International orders ship via FedEx Economy with cost calculated at checkout; customs duties and taxes are the responsibility of the buyer. Full terms are in the Shipping Policy and Refund Policy, and common questions are answered in the FAQ.
