Onelio Marrero

Mixed Water Lilies Spotted Sunlight, Oil Painting

2021

Artist Comments
Artist Onelio Marrero spends much of his summers happily gardening and caring for his pond. There are also several others within walking distance from his home. The painting shows a dense grouping of lily pads gathered near the water's edge. The warm rays of light play over the surface creating vivid shades of green and patches of cool shadows with reflections of the sky scattered among them. Onelio's loose brushwork here is varied from subtle glazes to bravura and rich impasto.

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.
