Artist Comments
On a September afternoon, artist Onelio Marrero noticed a boy fishing from a river weir near his home. He imagined the boy waiting all week for school to end so he could enjoy this simple pleasure. The scene reminded Onelio of Mark Twain’s stories of youthful adventures. Sunlit water fills the painting, with warm colors and careful technique capturing the glow of late summer.

About the Artist
Artist Onelio Marrero paints impressionist scenes that capture the romanticism of New York City or the soothing quiet of a rippling pond. His work evokes nostalgia and intimacy, giving the viewer a sense of having visited the same places before. “Each play of light, each texture, and each movement of a figure can have a captivating effect on me,” says Onelio. Living in New Jersey, he enjoys the luxury of having his favorite subjects to paint—whether it's the urban surroundings or the abundant nature just a short walk from his home. When he’s not painting, Onelio spends time with his grandchildren and immediate family, cultivates bonsai plants, and reads.
