About the Item
Artist Comments
"I always enjoy seeing the strength, grace, and flexibility of gymnasts, and this painting is a tribute to this wonderful sport," shares artist Jose H. Alvarenga. "I really like that metal figurine - it shows the strength and flexibility of gymnasts. In the middle is an off-white Carbothello colored pencil pointing to the drawing on the toned paper."
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.
