About this artwork

A blacksmith shapes glowing iron on an anvil, hammering a decorative curl into the heated metal. The forge's flames burn brightly in the background, casting warm light across the scene. Artist Onelio Marrero captures the intensity of foundry work, with brushwork reflecting the vigor and time-sensitive action of annealing. Part of Onelio's series on craftsmen, this piece explores the dedication and skill of artisans in their natural working environments.
