About The Artwork

This work belonged to a solo exhibition that I did in 2012, and it wanted to talk about something that fascinates me in the philosophy of Deleuze. Topographies of the Subjectus, is a piece elaborated on a support of aluminium foil on which I've used black oil diluted to the bottom of the three central figures. The theme is based on the Subjectus, very important part of the ancient concept that rests on the indivisibility or uniqueness, and hence that of individual, and this, his study in psychology today where we know that being individualized rather corresponds to different folds into a single being, and the Subjectus plays interesting toponyms where hides the true I stratified in three bastos bodies in the human being : the corpus physicus, or body as such; corpus mentis, or intelligence and the senses, and a third body less aprehensible and unfathomable, elusive, alterable, prominent or decadent, etc., in which runs the nature and particularity of what each man or woman undertakes to become in his life, that is the Ego. To interpret this toponymic Subjectus concept built a space mode of Francis Bacon and in which drew with paper sanding and abrasives these three figures: a man left sitting and reading (corpus mentis), another man resting (corpus physicus) right and in the middle of both, a rooster (Ego); under these figures pinto description of a map pathways that connect each other each toponymy by placing the names of the three parts of the Subjectus. With this work I try to connect to the public with the essence of your particular I and which visually can see not so much the science behind the subject (subjectus) that everyone is, but that everyone can create art from its interpretative reading.

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.
