Onelio Marrero
First Pour, Oil Painting

2022

About the Item

Artist Comments
An impressionistic image showing the intensity of foundry work captured by artist Onelio Marrero. Three men busily work at pouring multiple molds with molten bronze. Utilizing a rich layer of impasto, Onelio renders the light that emanates from the crucible and the surrounding materials. With a combination of washes and lose brushstrokes, he effectively conveys the power of the activity and ferocity that goes into casting metal.


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.
