awakening

Author: William Marquina Title: awakening Technique: mixed Media (materials): oil and resin polyester on drawing by reflection light (rough mechanical on sheet of aluminum) Dimensions: 32” x 48” (81 cm x 122 cm) Year: 2016 Description: Daily awakening that make human beings every morning, is like a new impulse that gives us life and one of the most dazzling phenomena for me. In the awakening, begins a new stage and is the restart of the existence which is surprising because of its character over time. Life as a necessity of awakening, a being born every day, a surprising way of life unique to other living beings because our thinking gives us the quality of weather to start, can be regarded as the new life. My techniques are often mixed, here I use oil and resin as help me model color with textures on the realistic drawing (self-portrait). To this procedure it called drawing by reflection light where the light is the matter prima of the drawing, is a technical where apply lights and shadows hewn by means of the friction on a flat of aluminum; the lights and shadows are consciously altered in favour of changes to the value of the grey in the figure. I've used this technique from a need to have a language to symbolize and express abstract my concept of time.
