Independently of any textual reference to Dante's Divine Comedy, in this drawing I explore the idealization of fantastic demon arms. This idea came to my imagination in free form; but perhaps in this there is a subjective background of association of images with strange beings of the nature (bugs like the scorpion, crabs and others) that perhaps they are often used by ourselves in an unconscious way to describe an evil being. Here we observe the dynamic, rapid and expressive effect of the rubber spatula on casein as a technique of pictorial action. This 'sweeping' technique tries to run or sweep the wet paint wells by exploring the shapes we want to emboss on the paper (in this case the daimon arms). Finally note the almost photographic effect of this image allows to confuse it with a real photograph, this is due to the realistic effect of this sweeping technique with rubber spatula, the use of a glazed paper carrier and casein media.This drawing goes without frame and is signed behind.

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.
