Artist Comments
Artist Onelio Marrero paints an impressionist scene of a man painting under a makeshift structure of fallen trees. The idyllic shelter shades him from the sun. He draws inspiration from one of his walks along an area of wetland running along a river. Wildflowers and Japanese Knotweed envelop the tender landscape. The rich variety of greens, loose brushwork, and bold impasto make this painting a sensory delight.

About the Artist
Artist Onelio Marrero paints impressionist city scenes of everyday life. 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.
