Artist Comments
Artist Onelio Marrero shares a tender moment of children swimming by the sea. Part of a series of summer paintings that explores the cheerful spirit of youth. His execution gives evidence of the influence of Sorolla's lighthearted work. "The movement and reflections on the water are captured in brilliant light and energetic brushwork that maintains the spontaneity of the subjects," says Onelio.
