Artist Comments
"I got inspired to paint this cute figurine of a girl playing the flute to three birds," says artist Jose H. Alvarenga. "To complement the scene I decided to buy a small toy flute. I used the book as a pedestal for the figurine and also as a reference to music."
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.
