Author: William Marquina Title: Intrigue and Restitution Technique: Pigment black, yellow, hair dog, photo magazine and foil on glazed paper Dimensions: 13” x 19” x 0,008” (33 cm x 48 cm x 0.02 cm) Year: 2015 Personal Web Page: http://www.marquinawilliam.wix.com/brillo / Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/brillosiete Description: It's a dark theme among women, it's double standards in the relations intimate woman and how her life fluctuates between attitudes of intrigue and desire to restore the normality of her womanhood. I wanted to represent this situation in contemporary women using the image of a photo of fashion magazine. I cut the figure of this model investing opposite bottom of the page in which it appears another female figure, thus achieving a symmetrical composition with cropped silhouette effect, placing the figure to the right and leaving the rest of the photo to the left. I like the legacy of Alighiero E Boetti left us with the Art Povera, that fair relationship between found objects, painting, drawing, other techniques and technologies with the concept and the time of the subject which to treat a work of contemporary art. This piece has no frame and is signed at the back.

William Marquina was born in Mérida, Venezuela. Attracted by the works of great masters such as Picasso and Leonardo, at the age of 11 he participated in an outdoor Sunday painting workshop. After graduating in visual arts from the Universidad de Los Andes, he studied a master's degree in philosophy, followed by an unfinished doctorate, and was a short-term visual arts professor at the same university. From now on, William will pursue his passion for art by experimenting with different themes, techniques, styles and media. Disappointed by the unstable situation in his country, he emigrated to the city of Quito in 2019 where he currently lives and produces his works in the Oskan-huera painting studio, cloistered during the pandemic of 2020 and 2021, he will insist on his series Perceptions William's production has been experimentally versatile and challenges us with series characterized by the desire to search, study and complement the archaic and contemporary. His series are notable: Brillo, Picasso Copy, Matisse Copy, Da Vinci Copy and Aperceptions. In the latter, he highlights us in painting, the subjective complexity in the world of perceptions. In 2023 he exhibited his individual retrospective "Imbrications in painting" in the city of Quito; the International Painting exhibition at Casal Català Quito, 2021 and "Exhibition of Ecuadorian Painting" at the Mayor's Office of Quito, 2019. Other important individuals were: "Cartographies of the Terrestrial and Transterranean", Merida 2012; "Care. Path and Limit", 2007 and "Essences", 2007. Awarded the First Prize of Arts for University Students, in 2001.
