Joseph Konert is an American artist, designer, photographer, colorist, and painter. Joseph's goal is to reinvigorate religious themes in art and everyday life. Joseph continues to create a visual world that harmoniously converges butterflies, stripes, palms, rosaries, and objects. His works explore the intersection of street culture and religious symbology. Having developed a style over the past two decades uniquely his own, Joseph transcends traditional painting techniques through his mastery of blending fragile and industrial materials.
Joseph was born in Detroit, Michigan. However, Joseph's explorations to write graffiti shaped his fearless approach and propensity for scale. Joseph was introduced to the art of color composition while interning at knitting and textile mills in southeastern Pennsylvania. In addition, the influence of his mother, a gemologist, enrooted a passion for nature, specifically precious gemstones and butterflies. As a result, Joseph draws endless inspiration from theology, creation, and art history.
Joseph's conglomeration of experiences led him to New York City, where he currently works and collaborates with hospitality, fashion, and interior designers.
