About the Item
Artist Comments
"I got inspired to paint something related to the question, 'Is it luck or fate?'" says artist Jose H. Alvarenga. "As a representation of luck, I painted the horseshoe, the four-leaf clover, and the number 7. The sun tarot card characterizes fate which represents positivity, optimism, success, contentment, vitality, and joy."
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.
