About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Jose H. Alvarenga illustrates a still life of a vintage milkmaid ornament. "I found this lovely figurine on eBay and decided to buy it and paint it," shares Jose. A rare and unique decoration that implies elegance in its simplicity. He highlights the rustic quality of its costume, face, and posture.
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.

This still-life painting depicts white roses arranged in a brass vase, with a pink one at the bottom. The earth-toned palette and thick bravura brushstrokes impart a timeless aura to the piece. Against the brown background, the elements stand out with their soft and endearing details.
