This painting is like a fiction, and within the absurd, is it the premonition of an environmental reality? Gorua is a small island in Indonesia, and almost every year it sees very high temperatures. The rhythm of the changes is associated with those of amazement, mixed with the unreality of a green and magenta alien skin. The absurd begins to register what is necessary as an act of kindness for survival, survival recreates the world of a maybe tomorrow. A comb surrounds the same faded astonishment of a cloud in the landscape, and life focuses on a future, now without dances. The artist William recreates for us a theme of the environment as a fable within a Matisse style. He thinks that we live the absurd as a truth, and the truth as an absurd without being seen. William's pictorial technique has focused on studying the expressive benefits of color in modern painting to deconstruct the new pictorial challenges of our 21st century.

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.
