Artist Comments
Artist Onelio Marrero paints three little girls splashing in the surf. His execution gives evidence of the influence of Sorolla's paintings of similar subjects. The movement and reflections on the water come alive in brilliant and energetic brushwork, maintaining the spontaneity of the subjects. The rendering of the glints of light sparkling on the water contributes to the magical quality of this piece.
