About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Jose H. Alvarenga paints a representational composition of a hundred-dollar bill and a lighter. He uses clever symbolism in this charming still life. He paints a fire sticker on top to give the impression that the money has been lit. He adds trails of smoke from the bill to give an illusion that it is burning.
About the Artist
Jose’s soft still life paintings are like visual puns. He creates relationships between objects that evoke both amusement and contemplation in the viewer. By devising a clever dialogue between objects, Jose turns a still life into a story. Jose utilizes a classical realist style with a gentle nod to surrealism through his unique subject selections. He is inspired by everyday objects, particularly those with a quality of nostalgia, memory, or humor. Jose paints out of his Los Angeles area apartment, where he also enjoys playing the keyboard and reading art books.
