Joseph is a versatile artist whose work has been exhibited in major international shows across Italy, Japan, Australia, China, Korea, Taiwan, and Canada. He specializes in sculpture and fine porcelain, featuring his distinctive, food-safe glaze. His signature ladybugs symbolize good luck; the ladybug earrings and chains are crafted from sterling silver. Additionally, he created the “Line of Love” sculpture jewellery collection.
“My goal is to create work that is beautiful, imaginative, and inspiring. Ceramics became part of my life during a difficult period, which was a fertile time for experimentation, trial, and error. It is through this process that I found my way forward.”
“My work with clay has taught me patience and persistence; it always energizes me. Over the years, I’ve learned that my imagination is an endless source of creativity. All I need to do is strive for perfection in each piece, knowing that the sky is the limit.”
“I look forward to continuing to learn, explore, and evoke beauty through my work.”
His ceramic pieces, acclaimed both locally and internationally, are regularly featured at Vancouver’s Granville Island Public Market.
In 2013, Joseph took a bold step, dedicating time to develop his line of metal sculptures exploring the theme of love. These pieces are part of his vision to create a sculpture garden or permanent outdoor park for visitors worldwide to enjoy.
Joseph’s “Line of Love” jewellery collection stems from his larger sculptural designs and was inspired by the idea that these smaller pieces can serve as meaningful gifts of love exchanged between individuals.
