In this series titled "Poli-sarcasms", paintings of a pictorial and romantic realism are synthesized with minimalist symbolic elements of the graffiti type, simple, fast, instantaneous. The purpose is to try to overturn or divert the concept of a painting previously made and that serves as an imaginary basis for overlapping ironic graffiti elements, with the sole intention of changing the anticipated pictorial message (this is usually a romantic style realism or Impressionist as landscapes, fruits, interiors, etc.), overlapping his reading a theme of political consonances at a symbolic level whose original message is synthesized to ridicule and at the same time distort and expand the concept of the work. For this seascape I was inspired by the works of William Turner, the greatness, fascination and swirling of lights and shadows in his paintings of storms captured the cruelty of his world, his universe revolved around those impossibilities of life, things that do not They can be changed, they are tragic and they are somehow the ones that identify the reality of life in your environment. Thus, in this Tempest I try to capture the inevitable political and social storm in my country Venezuela. However, as Turner did in his works, I also produce a breath of hope that is half-appreciated in the middle of the painting.

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.
