Raphael was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1933. He studied at Cooper Union, Yale-Norfolk School, Yale School of Fine Arts, and received a Fulbright Scholarship. Although at Yale University he studied with the artist-teacher and color theorist Josef Albers. What is important for Raffael is that the forest sounds, smells, what day and dawn looks like, and he masterfully notices all this in his paintings.

A rose is a rose is a rose, even if it's only 5 feet and 7 feet wide. This is how artist Joseph Raphael likes to paint flowers in watercolors in his studio in France. The American artist surrounded himself with beauty and color, and as a result of this lifestyle, his garden and his birds are the main subjects of his art. Watercolor allows him to freely choose a range of colors and has the unique characteristic of transparency. The choice of natural objects and transparent environments reflect Raffael's interest in the timeless characteristics of things found in nature.
