Author: William Marquina Title: Rough kiss Technique: Pigment black, hair of the dog and foil on Bristol cardboard Dimensions: 13” x 19” x 0,02” (33 cm x 48 cm x 0.05 cm) Year: 2015 Webpage: http://www.marquinawilliam.wix.com/brillo Key words: drawing, contemporary, black, watery, aluminum, paper, animal, Kiss, love, feelings, Anselm Kiefer Description: A kiss is not the same as always, sometimes it is brutal. I wanted to express this feeling of Kiss since it is identified with the animal instinct that we hide the humans, or at least, is the way in which the passion plays in our relationships, which makes them quite complex, mysterious and interesting, because: If the passion is great Kiss should be the animal that can be, but, and there is little passion, a kiss can be the most stupid and boring. I used black pigment with an acrylic medium, because I wanted to apply lowlights matte or dull to dramatic effect to the subject. This piece has no frame and is signed at the back.

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.
