Jose H. Alvarenga
Ravello, Oil Painting

2021

About the Item

Artist Comments
A classic still life depicting a ceramic bottle and a half-peeled lemon with its peel twirling off the table. "I like to combine traditionalism with contemporary subject matters in my painting," shares artist Jose H. Alvarenga. "I really love the Ravello bottle and its details combined with a classical subject as the half-peeled lemon."


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.

  • Composition in Blue, Oil Painting
    By Lisa Nielsen
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    Artist Lisa Nielsen captures a cool and soft atmosphere in this still-life piece. She expresses freedom to experiment with the arrangement of elements by adding glasses, teacups, and ribbons. Lisa infuses shades of blue throughout the entire composition. She adds subtle contrasts of color for easiness to the eyes.


    About the Artist
    There;s a certain innocent joy that comes through in Lisa Nielsen;s artwork. She finds beauty in the everyday and often ordinary, whether it;s painting a pretty girl in the garden or spending time with her daughter at Chipotle - and let;s face it, what isn;t beautiful about a burrito bowl? Lisa likes to say she captures moments in the journey of life. What we see in her art is all part of her life philosophy: to be still, to breathe, to exhaust the small moment.
