About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Jose H. Alvarenga is fond of collecting small figurines to act as a reference for his artworks. "I really love the captain´s pose," says Jose. "And to complement his elegant gesture, I added some symbolism with the origami paper boat. Underneath is a blue paper with waves drawn on it."
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.
