Cape May Porch: Angel of The Sea, Oil Painting

2021

Artist Comments
An open porch welcomes the morning breeze and the warm sunrise. Artist Onelio Marrero recreates the setting from a bed and breakfast inn called "Angel of The Sea" in Cape May, New Jersey. He spent several days in the historic town, taking in sites and landmarks. "I was enthralled by the cool shadows contrasting the respondent spots of dappled sunlight," shares Onelio. "The textures of the impasto sections are rich and captivating as is the deceptively carefree brushwork."

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.
