The drawing on aluminum plates is hard work, it needs a lot of concentration and be prepared for desirable effects as well as some undesirable ones, everything depends on the skill that is had of the emery, the orientation of the strokes of the lines, etc. It took me almost 1 month to get these effects.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Composed of papers and black oil ink on aluminum plate and grinding directly on the support. It represents an aerial view of an area of the city of Caracas, Venezuela, where the corporeal element of the drawing is itself the brightness of the metal and thus blur the city by alienating a space that goes beyond the physical, rather than an emporium of forces, conflicts, loves, dreams, passions, etc., a place of travelers, of scoundrels and heroes, in search of their own principles.

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.
