Artist Comments
A man stands in front of a Picasso painting exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The considerable time he spends in front of the artworks suggests he is a dedicated observer. The loosely rendered details add to the impressionistic quality of the scene. This piece is a part of artist Onelio Marrero's ongoing series of museum interiors and gallery-goers.

About the Artist

Whether he captures the romanticism of New York City or the soothing quiet of a rippling pond, he infuses each piece with the visual magic of the moment. He creates a sense of nostalgia and intimacy with his work, offering the feeling that you have visited the same place before. “Each play of light, each texture, and each movement of a figure can have a captivating effect on me,” says Onelio.

Onelio’s work is an appreciation for beauty in all its grandest forms; nature, art, and people.
