“I’m Joseph Liberti — artist, jazz flutist, and joyful explorer of the human experience.
At nearly 87, partially blind and full of life, I create vivid abstract art that reflects my deepest belief: that joy, gratitude, and creativity can transform our lives — at any age, and in any circumstance.
I began my career as a professional jazz flutist in my 70s, performing publicly for over a decade. I later turned to visual art, starting with photo-based digital work and eventually transitioning to painting with digital tools. I didn’t wait for someone to call me an artist. I simply began. And I never stopped.
Today, my art is has received recognition in multiple juried exhibitions and competitions. Each piece is born from intuition and inspired by the rhythm of jazz, the forms of nature, and the inner spark that tells us we’re alive and connected.
Despite my limited vision, I paint what I feel — not what I see. My process is spontaneous, spiritual, and deeply joyful. I aim to create “bright moments” — works that encourage realization, possibility, and hope.
Art is my way of saying yes to life. And I hope it helps you say yes too.”
Artist Statement
Bio
Meet Joseph Liberti, an artist and a jazz musician with a reverent passion for nature. He lovingly dubs himself a "Creative Spiritual Warrior," expressing that "creating art has been the most transformative journey of my life." While his primary focus lies in crafting intuitive abstract paintings, Joseph's work is also a profound reflection of his emotional and spiritual bond with the natural world.
In his artwork, you'll discover within his evocative abstract paintings the echoes of nature's forms: the contours of rocks, the grace of trees, and the undulating landscapes. Joseph's paintings sometimes reflect the gentle morning light filtering through leaves and dancing on the earth, infusing his compositions with vibrant colors and mesmerizing highlights.
Joseph's creative journey took an unexpected turn. Coping with the loss of his beloved canine hiking companion, he turned to point-and-shoot nature photography. As he delved into the world of modern photo editing software, he found his enthusiasm kindled by the realm of digital art. Through countless trials, errors, and dedicated practice, Joseph honed his unique artistic technique.
His art has been exhibited in galleries including Kreuser Gallery, Surface Gallery, G44, Auric Gallery and Look Up Gallery in Colorado Springs, while also earning him Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards in juried online competitions in 2023 and 2034. His works also won 6 Runner-Up awards in international competitions in 2025 to date.
The goal of Joseph’s current collection of evocative abstract art is to fire your intuition and evoke hope and possibility.
Through his artistry, Joseph strives to ignite a sense of wonder and appreciation for the beauty of life and a sense of hope. His creations serve as a bridge to the sublime, connecting viewers with boundless possibilities.
