Artist Comments
Artist Onelio Marrero paints a canoeist greeting the dawn in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. A dramatic sky unfolds, revealing the colors and warmth of a brilliant morning. Remnants of the evening's mist slowly vaporize from the water's surface, giving way to a new day. Onelio's varied brushwork, glazes, and impasto effects engage the viewer's tactile senses.

About the Artist

He captures the romanticism of New York City, from the picturesque fountains in Central Park to a glistening city street on a rainy afternoon.

Onelio’s work is an appreciation for beauty in all of its greatest forms; nature, art, and people.
