About the Item
Artist Comments
"I wanted to represent the genie by replicating a specific detail from Pedro Americo´s painting titled 'The Night with Genuises of Study and Love,'" shares artist Jose H. Alvarenga. "Pedro Americo was a 19th Century Brazilian academic painter contemporary of Bouguereau. He is one of my favorite painters and inspirations."
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.
