About the Item
Artist Comments
"In this painting, I wanted to capture a traditional and a contemporary style of representational painting," says artist Jose H. Alvarenga. He portrays youth with the plump green grapes and age with sweet raisins. "My inspiration was to paint that box of raisins with its many tiny details and for that reason, I used the tiniest brushes available, the 20/0!"
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.
