Jose H. Alvarenga
Spring, Oil Painting

2022

About the Item

Artist Comments
Inspired by the atmosphere of spring, artist Jose H. Alvarenga references a framed picture he found at an art supply store. As a storyteller, he adds a nest with two small birds to represent a renaissance and renewal. He paints with classical realism which evokes honesty and rawness. His pieces have a comfortable feel that is always inviting.


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.
