For us, art is an adventure into an unknown world, which can be explored only by those willing
to take the risk
Mark Rothko
An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that he, for some reason, thinks that a good idea would
be to give them
Andy Warhol
CURRICULUM VITAE
William R. Marquina B.
Nací en Mérida, 05 de enero de 1967, vive y trabaja actualmente en el Municipio Campo Elías del Estado Mérida, Venezuela. En 2000 crea el “Monumento al Artesano”, en 2005 el Monumento “Bolívar de Los Andes”. Estudió artes visuales (2001) en la Universidad de Los Andes y filosofía (2008) y entre 2010 hasta 2013 fue profesor de dibujo y color en la Facultad de Arte. En 2003 le cautivó la fuerza realista de la pintura del artista Baudilio Rodríguez y decide experimentar con el realismo y otros estilos, pero desde 2007 y sin dejar a un lado el realismo, investigará en la pintura abstracta donde el aluminio ha sido el más experimentado de los soportes porque le permite crear dibujos con la propia luz por medio de desgastes sobre el metal (dibujo por reflexión lumínica), combinando con pinturas industriales y otros materiales como felpas, pelos de animal, trastos con pinturas, resinas, etc. En 2016 crea el grupo Trastos-DaDa con propuestas de investigación en arte urbano local. Actualmente realiza una serie de esculturas en aluminio, donde su concepto es la abstracción de la levedad y la luz en el volumen. La diversidad de temas y expresiones visuales, combinado al realismo y la abstracción le avalan Su carrera como artista experimental.

In 2003 he captured the realistic force artist painting Baudilio Rodriguez and decides to experiment with realism and other styles, but since 2007 without leaving aside the realism, investigate in abstract painting where aluminum has been the most experienced brackets because it lets you create drawings with light itself through wear on the metal (drawing by reflection light), combined with industrial paints and other materials such as plush, animal hair, tackle with paints, resins, etc. In 2016 creates the-DaDa Trastos with research proposals in the local urban art group. Currently, he performs a series of sculptures in aluminum, where the concept is the abstraction of lightness and light volume. The diversity of themes and visual expressions, combined realism and abstraction will endorse his career as an experimental artist.
