Biography
Joseph Siddiqi is a Montreal-based painter and educator. His recent work explores abstraction, color, and the contemplative side of painting and drawing. Working with oil on linen, egg tempera on panels, and colored pencils on paper, he draws inspiration from mindfulness practice—balancing formal structure with creative flow. He has received grants from the Canada Council for the Arts, the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, and the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation. His work is held in public and private collections, including the Canada Council Art Bank (Ottawa), Colart Collection (Montreal), and Athabasca University Art Collection (Northern Alberta). His paintings have appeared in solo exhibitions in Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, and Montreal, as well as in group shows in the United States and Europe. He holds an MFA in Painting from Boston University and teaches in the Department of Studio Arts at Concordia University.
