The Rise Looking West, Oil Painting

2025

Artist Comments
A woodland painting captures the brilliant sunlight playing on the rock formations of a rise in the woods near the artist Onelio Marrero's home. The patches of warm sunlight accentuate the cooler colors of the boulders. Onelio used rich textures and contrasting light washes to reveal the rugged terrain.

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.
