ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Author: William Marquina Series: chaos Title: Rules #5 Technique: acrylic on paper glaze Dimensions: 13 "x 19" x 0.008 "(33 cm x 48 cm x 0.02 cm) Year: 2015 Words key: World, system, rule, abstract, line, paint, color, blue, black, green, acrylic, paper. Description: According to analysts, many of the systems in our modern world are the basis of the development of a society. But scrutinizing these systems we see that there is a dizzying creation of networks based on rules. In this work, I interpret this aspect in the vision of a matrix. I've used the lines as the main element of this painting without seeking the rigidity of perfection because I'm interested in the degrees of the hand pulse, which is the same as saying, how I am interacting with a completely abstract element without the help of technical means. This action reveals a kind of freedom that I control with the hands providing me a reduction in restrictions to what we commonly understand by the word "line" or "linear" to me. This action me takes to think on it imperfection as an element abstract of what really not found in the reality, i.e., the line in itself is an element completely abstract, not exists it line as such, and therefore them rules of the society nor are forms concrete.

William Marquina was born in Merida, Venezuela. Attracted by the works of great masters such as Picasso and Leonardo, at the age of 11 he participated in a Sunday outdoor painting workshop. After graduating in visual arts at the University of Los Andes, he studied for a master’s degree in philosophy, followed by an unfinished doctorate, and was a short-term visual arts teacher 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. William’s production has been experimentally versatile and challenges us with series characterized by the desire to seek, study and complement the archaic and the contemporary. Among his series are: Brillo, Copia Picasso, Copia Matisse, Copia Da Vinci and Apercepciones. In the latter, he highlights in painting, the subjective complexity in the world of perceptions. He has been exhibiting his recent works in the city of Quito: “What do you see?” at the Humboldt Association (2024); a collective exhibition at the AQ Arte Feria de Quito (2024). In 2023 his retrospective “Imbrications in Painting”; in 2021 International Painting Exhibition at the Casal Català Quito and in 2019 “Exhibition of Ecuadorian Painting” at the Quito City Hall. Other important individual exhibitions but in Venezuela were: in 2012 “Cartographies of the Terrestrial and the Transterráneo”; in 2017 “Care. Path and Limit”, and in 2007 “Essences”. Awarded the First Prize for Arts for University Students, in 2001.
