Goodbye Summer, Oil Painting

2025

Artist Comments
Artist Onelio Marrero captures her granddaughter walking along a low tide surf in the late afternoon light on a New Jersey beach. She strolls along the receding tide, absorbed in thoughts of her last summer days. The young girl walks apart from her parents, whose shadows enter the lower right corner of the scene. The painting reflects the fleeting mood of late August, when summer lingers but quietly recedes.

About the Artist
Artist Onelio Marrero paints impressionist scenes that capture the romanticism of New York City or the soothing quiet of a rippling pond. His work evokes nostalgia and intimacy, giving the viewer a sense of having visited the same places before. “Each play of light, each texture, and each movement of a figure can have a captivating effect on me,” says Onelio. Living in New Jersey, he enjoys the luxury of having his favorite subjects to paint—whether it's the urban surroundings or the abundant nature just a short walk from his home. When he’s not painting, Onelio spends time with his grandchildren and immediate family, cultivates bonsai plants, and reads.
