Artwork

Inspired after a trip to The New York Botanical Gardens in the Bronx, artist Onelio Marrero shares a view of a person taking a break on a park bench. The idea of an artist including another artist appeals to Onelio—one that he returns to often. He paints the piece with a rich sense of texture and various vivid colors. His approach features a sensitive interpretation of the effects of light on the multicolored flora and foliage of the gardens.

Onelio Marrero

Rockaway, New Jersey

Artist Onelio Marrero paints impressionist scenes of everyday life. 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. He studied at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, where he mastered discerning color and values—giving him the tools to create work with superb spontaneous appearance. Onelio’s work is an appreciation for beauty in all its grandest forms; nature, art, and people.

I like the piece, but it is several shades lighter than the image online. I prefer the darker.

B Valley purchased this artwork. style="color: #000000;"12/21/2021 | 4:29 PM

When I first saw this painting was very impressed with the artistry, title and art noir feel of the scene. But something deeper drew me back a few times before making the purchase. Only after hanging and looking at it over several nights did I realize it was taking me back to a very special time and place. Finally inspiring a poem I pinned that I would make available to Onelio if desired.

I was so pleased with the painting, Onelio Marrero’s - Among The Collectibles, that I bought another of his paintings a couple of weeks later. That one, too, is a memorable image. I couldn’t be more pleased.

This piece is in my bedroom, one of the places in my home where I read often. My favorite thing about it is the soft colors that evoke a sense of comfort, relaxation and "coziness" as my daughter would say. I also love her reclined position which contributes further to the vibe of the painting.

I love it and have placed it in full view. My only complaint is that you did not offer framing.

commentsThe Path that Winds
A Hince purchased this artwork. style="color: #000000;"10/22/2020 | 11:20 AM

This painting brings so much tranquility & hope. I feel like I'm walking on this soothing nature path in the forest. The details are beautifully painted, the composition is perfect, and I love the chosen colors: the right greens & touch of pink and mauve . The artist is very talented. We're very happy about this purchase.

I could not be more happy with the two paintings by Mr. Marrero! They are beautiful! I wanted some original artwork for my office. As I looked through the oil paintings (hundreds or thousands), I loved all of his. In fact, I knew I wanted two, and it was difficult to decide which two to narrow it down to. I absolutely love the two paintings!

Onelio Marrero 12/15/2018 | 11:46 AM

Thanks for the compliments! May you enjoy the paintings for many years to come.

Hello Onelio! The Fedex truck kept the painting on his truck for a week after the delivery date according to the tracking so we were getting very impatient! But so worth the wait!! City of Mirrors is even more wonderful in person. I love your work!!!

Onelio Marrero 9/1/2017 | 6:49 PM

Thanks for your comments. Your are too kind. Congratulations on you retirement! I retired from teaching in June of 2016 and have been able to paint a lot more. It's wonderful to be able to devote more time to my artwork.

Hi, Onelio! Bob Jones in Fort Myers here. Still love my collection of your work. As I was removing all the art getting ready for the interior painter, Had a chance to reflect on each piece and remember the thrill when each one arrived from Fed Ex. It's been years and I'm happy to see your current work. Outstanding as always, especially Wedding Toast! I'm 75 now and retired since 2009. I hope this finds you and family happy and well. You have played such a big part in my appreciation of original art. Blessings, Bob

I purchased your "Bubble Meditation" and absolutely love it. I am not a connoisseur, just a normal person that likes what I like. I love a painting that pulls me into it and makes me part of the moment, your paintings do that. I will enjoy my painting for a long time to come. Thank you!

Thank you for posting such a meaningful comment. I am so glad that the painting serves to remind you of an important time in your life. May you enjoy it for many years in peace and good health. Onelio

commentsBuca di Beppo Before the Rush
B Valley purchased this artwork. style="color: #000000;"3/21/2017 | 2:52 PM

Actual painting exceeded expectations. Yes it certainly triggered a memory back thirty plus years of a dinner at a small, Italian New York restaurant which was a seminal point in my life. The impressionistic style fits perfectly with the vagueness of my recollection. The warm colors totally reflect the mood of that night. So as the song says "thanks for the memories".

K Burke style="color: #000000;"2/21/2017 | 8:08 PM

This painting is named appropriately, for it brings serenity to the one gazing at it! Very peaceful and calm and the water looks so real it feels as if one might be splashed by a wayward drop as you pass by. Thank you so much for this magnificent calming piece!

Onelio Marrero 1/9/2017 | 1:40 PM

Thank you so much for your positive comment. The painting shows a place that I found enchanting. Enjoy!

commentsTwo Man Pour
A Danso purchased this artwork. style="color: #000000;"9/23/2016 | 2:43 PM

I love my “Two Man Pour” painting as it is detailed by nature. I saw mirror image and mirror reflection with facial features, which are exquisitely realistic. The rust medium reminds me of Jean-Honore Fragonard. My next painting from you was going to be ‘Almost Closing Time” which I lost to another collector. ‘When you snooze, you lose’ It will not happen again. Bravo Onelio Marrero.

  • I was so pleased with the painting, Onelio Marrero’s - Among The Collectibles, that I bought another of his paintings a couple of weeks later. That one, too, is a memorable image. I couldn’t be more pleased.
