Spontaneity, color, dimensionality, release and expansion characterize his work. He paints large, bold, expressive canvases. Emotions that are too vast to remain in their container must have a place in which to be released -- a place that knows no bounds, no rules, no limits--a place in which feelings transcend to a deeper understanding of life; a connection that all life form, seen and unseen share.

When Joseph Mele paints, he releases stored memories and emotions. Therefore, he is unburdening himself of limitation and old ideas that intrude up his spirit, blocking his innate right as a human being to create and express in free-flowing form. Ultimately this process expands my understanding of "reality", and brings forth the possibility of other dimensions in the Universe that are moving along with us.

Joseph is self-taught and works intuitively.
