About The Artwork

Author: William Marquina Series: Symmetrical abstraction Title: Reversibility Technique: Painting on canvas Dimensions: 41,14 inch (width) x 25 inch (height) Year: 2017 -Signed front and back -Without wooden frame -Frameless Life is changeable. At some point, we have experienced changes in the sensations of cold, heat, hunger, thirst, eating, sleep, etc., but just in those changes, is when the hypothalamus keeps us in a constant regulation according to those needs. Reversibility is a characteristic of our neuro-plasticity, adapting our biology through behaviors in order to survive, so that this condition allows us to be equally reversible in all areas of life. The abstract interpretation highlights this invisible human characteristic; It led me to consider the image of a hypothalamus scanner in intense activity in magenta and orange, contrasting it with another blackened image where there is no more activity. I have called this pictorial process "Symmetrical Abstraction" to create patterns of compositions of colors, forms, and in general any visual element, which has as starting point what in mathematics is known as bilateral flat symmetry, that is, folding a section half of a plane or canvas on another middle section of the same plane or canvas, so that when the surfaces of both sections are contacted with the paint still wet in between, the copying of all the forms of one section on the other will take place; both sides or sections thus obtain similar shapes in proportion of paint and shapes.

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.
