Dan Alva “steals” paintings from the artistic masters to create provocative clashes of time periods and styles. The original work is created using the same oil and painting methods of the Old Masters before Alva adds his modern patterns to both obscure and emphasize features of the original image. The distortions force you to consider these images in a new way. Was Marilyn Monroe's stare always that sad?
