Son of veteran Castle Fine Art artist Jon Jones, Joseph has grown up surrounded by creativity, however he has never received any formal training. His impressive colour-mixing skills, vital to his work, are entirely self-taught, coming instinctively as he brings his subjects to life. Born into Generation Z, Joseph draws inspiration from contemporary culture, music and trends, alongside the aesthetics of 80s and 90s film, music, and television. In his artistic journey, Joseph has studied the works of Old Masters such as Rembrandt, John Singer Sargent, and Joshua Reynolds, as well as contemporary artists like Jenny Saville. From them, he has learned the nuances of capturing light, realism, and photorealistic detail that now defines his own striking and emotive portraits.

As he continues to grow as an artist, Joseph strives to push the boundaries of portraiture, experimenting with both traditional and anaglyph styles. Constantly challenging and evolving his process, his unique approach to portraiture transforms the paintings from a simple representation of a person into a more expressive and thought-provoking experience.
