Joël Richard is a French-born contemporary painter based in North Bondi, Sydney. Working primarily with oil paints, he creates expressive figurative and abstract works that explore human emotion, movement, and the connection between people and place. His practice evolved from film photography to painting in 2020 and has since developed into a distinct visual language blending figuration, abstraction, and gestural energy.
Guided by his love for Basque culture and Australia’s raw natural beauty, Joël’s work reflects a dialogue between landscape, memory, and emotion. He mixes his colours from scratch to achieve a balanced and personal palette often using greens inspired by the Basque countryside and reds reminiscent of the Australian outback.
