About the Item
Artist Comments
"In this piece, I was inspired to paint the doll with its beautiful kimono robe and the Japanese girl pictured on the mirror," explains artist Jose H. Alvarenga. The doll looks down, appearing to look at herself in the compact mirror set at her feet. "To harmonize the red robe I painted a red spool of thread."
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.
