Artist Comments
Artist Onelio Marrero paints this impressionist landscape from his travels in Alaska. The scene captures a rugged mountain pass near Skagway at an elevation of approximately 3,000 feet. Summer temperatures begin to melt the frozen river, revealing deep runnels and resilient islands of ice that reflect rare, luminous colors across the landscape. Through expressive brushwork and a keen sense of scale, Onelio conveys the grandeur and geological character of this historic route, shaped during the Klondike Gold Rush.

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.
