Onelio Marrero

At Columbus Circle, Oil Painting

2020

Artist Comments
In New York at the entrance of Central Park at Columbus Circle, there is a monument that many people use as a meeting place. Onelio used the subject to focus on the glowing morning light. He says he was enchanted by the slight haze in the air that created a wonderful ethereal perspective on the buildings that serve as the backdrop. Sunlight outlines the people and enhances the venerable stonework.

About the Artist
Onelio Marrero paints city scenes of everyday life. In an impressionistic style he captures the romanticism of New York City, the picturesque fountains in Central Park and the wet city streets after a rainy afternoon. His use of warm tones creates a sense of nostalgia and the feeling that you have visited or seen this particular scene before. Onelio will often paint from direct observation, or he will work from a combination of photographs and combine numerous sources into one piece. In this way his work combines reality with fantasy, creating a new story with each painting. His work captures an appreciation for beauty in all of its greatest forms; nature, art, and people.
