Where Dusk Has Meaning, Oil Painting

2021

Artist Comments
A calm saturates the night while pleasant chatter fills the air. Artist Onelio Marrero finds inspiration from the burning light of the fire pit against the backdrop of the deepening dusk. His wife and youngest daughter are engaged in conversation amidst the glow of the fire and the early spring blooms. "We lived where dusk had meaning..." says Onelio as he quotes a lyric from one of singer Van Morrison's songs.

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.
