[SOLD] Still Life Impressionism Oil Painting “Irises”

Description

This original oil on stretched canvas still life painting of Irises in a jar will be a treasure for years to come! The happy, vibrant colors and beautiful brush work are hallmarks of the seasoned artist from Tucson, Jose Trujillo. He states:

“I use loose brushwork and heavy layers of bright paint (also know as Impasto) to create the image before me. It is a very difficult style to master and it has taken me many, many years to perfect my own take on the style. The paintings may appear fast, under-worked, or too fuzzy to the untrained eye, but to those who understand  and what it takes to paint this way, they will recognize the jewels that I’m offering here.  Impressionism”

Jose Trujillo has been recognized throughout his career, most notably by Bill Tomicki, former vice president of Sotheby’s and Tiffany & Co. who considered him a modern Monet. “Jose Trujillo is an impressionist painter of rare talent, a prolific painter whose landscapes, seascapes and still lifes are a dreamy, fantasy of colors. His brushwork is impeccable and we think he is to be collected now before his prices skyrocket and galleries, collectors and museums take notice, which they are sure to do.”

Artist Bio

I was born in Guadalajara, Mexico in 1982, and moved to the United States of America with my family when I was nine-years-old. I currently live in Tucson, Arizona with my wife and son.

I am a self-taught artist, who became interested in light, color, and motion at a very young age. As a young artist, I began visiting museums and studying the paintings of the old masters, finding that I was drawn to the Impressionist’s “blurry” view of the world. Observing the color and style of these paintings transformed how I looked at my world. Once I saw the depth of color in the Impressionist’s view of the sky, I was hooked. After viewing the Impressionist artwork, I was unable to view the majestic skies of Arizona without spending hours contemplating their beauty.

I paint because I love nature and life. I love everything that surrounds us. A perfect day for me involves nothing more than looking at a subject until its true essence reveals itself to me as the colors become vibrant and I truly “see” the subject. I believe a painting should represent the subject and its relationship to the world— it should be a celebration of its existence in the universe in the best possible light. I hope I am able to convey this in my work, and strive to do so with every painting I create.
