About The Artwork

In this painting (which belongs to the "Copia Picasso" series), William tries to take us beyond mere representation to also add a cubist exploration of Arnold Newman's most famous portrait of Picasso in Vallauris, France, in 1954 In this study, William transports us in two directions, first making an exact oil copy of the famous portrait, and later, having executed a kind of replicas of eyes, nose, ear and mouth and sticking them to one side, he decides to carry out a transfiguration surprising using the language of cubism. The novelties of this work in William's series are: first that both productions were made on the same canvas support, as if describing its two moments, two ideas of the same representation, one that reflects the realistic identity of Picasso's face and another that brings together complex and symbolic deformations of passionate aspects and their way of creating; And the second is that William practices what he has been calling which consists of cutting out sections of the same canvas as a > which according to his own words >. In the series "Copia Picasso" William raises the theme of Picasso and his work, exploring through painting the richness of its various plastic resources, from the experience, the feeling and history as re-interpretations or de-constructive studies of the renowned artist from Malaga.

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.
