Joseph de la Hoyde is a Sydney based multimedia artist whose practice centres around painting, photography and collected forms to document a ritualistic connection to the seen and unseen world. Drawn to allegory, sacrality and gothicism, his work ambles between darkness and light, where ethereal veiled figures, disquieting natural landscapes and intimate meditations on mortality converge. His work invites his audience into a world of thresholds - otherworldly yet familiar, tender and macabre, creating moments where wonder, disillusionment, transcendence and disquiet go hand in hand.

Joseph has exhibited works in solo and group shows, winning awards in subsequent years in the ‘Digital Stills’ and People's Choice Categories in the Hornsby Art Prize 2023/2022 as well as being a finalist in the Du Rietz Art Prize in 2022 and Hornsby Art Prize 2019. His works have been featured in international art blogs and journals including Beautiful Bizarre Magazine and Unvael Journal.
