About

O’Neal’s influences primarily derive from the late impressionist painter, Joaquin Sorolla. O’Neal paints with the same drive to capture his visual field, which includes intimate portrayals of his family and community, and the objects and spaces they own. These paintings render specific scenes that express a deep affect of reverence and veneration for quotidian people, places, and things. O’Neal’s perspective comes precisely from his standing point as his means of documenting and sharing tangible vignettes of what he sees.
