Artist Comments
Artist Onelio Marrero paints this piece based on a visit to Rome, Italy. He depicts a scene of Constantine's Arch and The Colosseum on a warm late May morning. Onelio plays with sunlight using vigorous sensitive brushwork and harmonious colors. In the foreground, he pictures a street vendor offering umbrellas. "The title sums it all up in Italian," says Onelio.
