Love Language Style
Joseph’s unique pattern, known as "love language", is characterized by the repeated use of Roman numerals. This cryptic form of expression involves translating words, quotes, and personal journal entries into numeric code using a T9 cellphone keypad, where each number corresponds to a letter. The resulting compositions often resemble intricate bodies of text or hieroglyphics. When utilizing abstract backgrounds, each one is unique with fluid brush strokes, skillfully depicting the delicate balance between chaos and order. Each work captures the raw emotion we experience in life, telling stories rooted in love, psychology and personal experience.
Growth Style
Joseph's Growth paintings symbolize personal development across various life dimensions—career, spiritual, financial, social, physical, and intellectual. Each piece reflects the belief that growth is a responsibility for those willing to seek and act upon it.
These works remind us that everyone has the potential for growth, regardless of their circumstances, similar to the motivational quotes in his workspace, such as "Love the discipline you know, and let it support you." Through his art, Joseph highlights that continuous growth leads to deeper self-understanding, enriching our lives and emphasizing the importance of daily progress for a fulfilling present and a brighter future.
