Onelio Marrero

A Break from Shopping, Oil Painting

2020

Artist Comments
In this painting, artist Onelio Marrero endeavored to convey the atmosphere of al fresco dining. Onelio often paints scenes of people in restaurant settings with a touch of the sitter's introspective solitude. The woman here is enjoying her lunch after a morning of shopping, as evidenced by the bag in the seat next to her.

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.
