Onelio Marrero

Carne Tagliata, Oil Painting

2020

Artist Comments
Part of Onelio's ongoing series centered around people occupied in various simple tasks. This painting depicts a butcher at work in his shop - it could be a shop like any meat vendor's establishment throughout the world. In this case the setting is one of the indoor markets in Florence, Italy. The title means prime cut in Italian. One can see evidence of the location on the left where the title is displayed on a sign showing the symbol for the Euro.

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.
