Artist Comments
"Central Park in Manhattan is one of my favorite places to visit and I often find my inspirations there," shares artist Onelio Marrero. In this case, Onelio devised a scene where a lonely figure sits on a park bench reading under the light of a lamppost as night approaches. "This painting has some deep indigo hints of sky beyond the energetic brush and palette knife work that makes up the tracery of the winter branches of the stately trees."
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.
