About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Jose H. Alvarenga paints a vintage still-life of the joker card. He dances over a yin and yang ball on top of a glass bottle. "Do what makes you happy, be with who makes you smile, laugh as much as you breathe, and love as long as you live," quotes Jose. He leaves the piece with an uplifting message of inspiration.
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.
