New York Misses You Too
About this artwork
The source of inspiration for this painting came as I was walking in Manhattan in the rain, says artist Onelio Marrero. This street is based on 8th Avenue at the Port Authority Bus Terminal but I made several alterations to depict a more typical view of the avenues in mid-Manhattan. Onelio altered several facades and included some digital billboards as a way to illustrate the changed atmosphere in New York in 2020.
