Author: William Rafael Marquina Buitrago Title: Little Parsifal Technique: Oil, purple pigment and resin on canvas Dimensions: 95 x 75 cm (37.40 x 29.53 in) Year: 2018 -Frameless This artwork on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tngOB4DTQVI&list=PLMXPSzDKAHgsWc1TWU3LIbOjxBe7xK9C3&index=2&t=0s Description: The legend of Parsifal, the young "chaste innocent, enlightened by compassion" ("Durch Mitleid Wissend, der Reine Tor") of the thirteenth-century medieval epic poem Parzival, whose plot is based on the mystical narrative of exploits for the power of the Christian relics in the hands of the Knights of the Holy Grail. But here, in this painting, far from accepting reincarnation, compassion and renunciation of oneself (since, in reference to the legend, this is attributable to a certain Hindu religious characteristic according to Wagner), that same character, Parsifal, he is a being with Hindu features but enigmatic, devoid of all humanity, the purple that surrounds him and the litmus at the top (effect of the purple ink diluted in kerosene) give him an extravagant, contemplative, languid, abnormal and mysterious character; the shadows represent the mystic emptiness and the reddish eye and mouth create a terrible, spectral being, but at the same time with a certain desolating tenderness. The paint I used is simple, combining the characteristics of the oil with a purple pigment (used in the manufacture of ink for pens); the white is made with zinc oxide. I used a synthetic resin colored with an intense blood red under the head of Parsifal, so the intense reddish tones of the eyes, lower lip and right ear stand out with a special brightness contrasting with the few interspersed whites of oil and purple.

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.
