Jose H. Alvarenga
Rembrandt, Oil Painting

2022

About the Item

Artist Comments
"In this painting, I wanted to present a copy of Rembrandt's self-portrait in the actual size as the original," states artist Jose H. Alvarenga. "I also painted a Rembrandt from Talens tube of paint and a brush. The color on the paint tube is copper, just like Rembrandt´s original painting. On the upper tape, it reads in Dutch, 'Self portrait, 1630, 12.2 x 15.5 cms, oil on copper,' and the bottom tape, 'Rembrandt Van Rijn, born 1606 died 1669.'"


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.
