The Lower Grounds at Skylands, Oil Painting

2020

Artist Comments
The rear arbor and limestone pond of a historic mansion in Ringwood located in northern New Jersey. On the upper tier of the arbor beyond the balustrade sits a wedding canopy ready for a summer morning ceremony. "I find this place full of nostalgia since it is the very place where my wife and I celebrated our wedding over 40 years ago," says artist Onelio Marrero.

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.
