About this artwork

Because of the artist's involvement in dance and ballet recitals, he has been able to see firsthand the bustle that backstage preparations entail. This painting captures one of those moments. Mr. Marrero arranged the setting to take the viewer from the partial figure in the immediate foreground to the main figure in the middle ground and then to the dancers on stage in the background. There are just enough subtleties of color, textures and brushwork to keep the viewer engaged throughout.
