A pond beneath trees catches shifting sunlight, creating a dappled pattern across its surface. Ducks and koi fish move through the scene, adding a sense of life and motion. The painting’s title was inspired by a book with vivid descriptions of flora and fauna, reflecting the mood and color captured in the work. Artist Onelio Marrero’s textured brushstrokes bring depth and vibrancy to this serene setting.

Hidden Gems, Oil Painting

Artist Comments
Artist Onelio Marrero presents an impressionist piece exploring ponds, koi, and goldfish—part of his ongoing series focusing on freshwater fauna. "Koi and Goldfish are considered lucky because, despite their bright colors attracting predators, they have useful survival instincts," shares Onelio. These fish take advantage of reflections of the sky and trees on the water's surface to hide from predators. Onelio capitalizes on the effects of the clear sky and silhouetted trees reflected on the pond to partially mask the exotic fish.
