Author: William Marquina Series: Symmetrical abstraction Title: Eolo Technique: Paint on canvas Dimensions: 29,13 inch (height) x 32,08 inch (width) Year: 2017 -Signed behind the work -Without wooden frame -Frameless Zeus had given Eolo the power to predict and control the winds from a floating island, Eolia, and where he lived with six sons and six daughters. He was kind and fair to the foreigners he taught to use the sails to navigate and he helped Odysseus by giving him a favorable wind, in addition to a wineskin with winds which he had to use with prudence. I wanted to represent this mythology by treating it in an abstract way and for which I took care to use the painting so that it could be controlled by a circular fan shape. I have called this pictorial process "Symmetrical Abstraction" to create patterns of compositions of colors, forms, and in general any visual element that has as starting point what in mathematics is known as bilateral flat symmetry, that is, folding a middle section of a plane or canvas over another middle section of the same plane or canvas, in such a way that upon contacting the surfaces of both sections with the painting still wet in the middle, 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. I HAVE PLACED TWO LINKS HERE TO SEE VIDEOS OF PART OF THE PROCESS OF THIS WORK. IT WOULD BE VERY INTERESTING TO SEE YOU!

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.
