Author: William Marquina Title: Indomitable with Appearance Technique: Pigment black, hair of dog, photo of magazine and foil on glazed paper Dimensions: 13” x 19” x 0,008” (33 cm x 48 cm x 0.02 cm) Year: 2015 Descripion: Often the preponderance of the modern woman is usually related with inflexible attitudes and appearances. This feature in the woman is interesting because this becomes challenging in our culture, contemporary, different from submissive women from centuries past. I divided the composition in two planes: one where I used the photo, magazine, by cutting out the silhouette of the figure of the woman and by replacing the space with hairs my pet (dog ChowChow) denoting the indomitable character; then I put the figure in the background reflected in aluminum foil, so the idea of "appearance". 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.
