“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 kist 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
Why I Create
I create because I love life — fiercely, fully, and without apology.
Even in the face of loss or limitation, I believe in beauty, in gratitude, and in the quiet fire of human possibility. Art is my way of reaching into that fire and bringing back something radiant to share.
I don’t paint what I see — I paint what I feel.
The rhythm of jazz. The breath of nature. The spark of awakening that reminds us we’re still growing, still loving, still alive.
My hope is that each piece I create becomes a “bright moment” for someone else — a pause, a smile, a shift. A reminder that you, too, are full of possibility.
