Artist Comments
Artist Onelio Marrero shows a rippling pond surrounded by golden autumnal colors. Part of his series that explores the glistening surfaces of ponds and lakes. Onelio invites the viewer to enjoy the contorted reflections of the trees and reeds on the water. The viewer observes the depth implied in the reflections refracted by the ripples. Onelio capitalizes on these effects with fluid strokes, impasto, and dry brush application.
