Roberto Márquez of Illapu

[pooks]

okay, in case none of you know this, i am currently writing an Encanto long-fic called Por Amarte Así (it's still active, i have just taken a smaller break to compose the next chapter).

The fic is mostly centered around Mirabel and her boyfriend Javier, a young blacksmith. But there are so much more things happening, so i have taken the liberty to use a deleted character, polish him a bit because he will play an important role.

so I took this deleted character Bubo Marquez and did a whole redesign, some actual personality anc characterization.

His name is Roberto Marquez (only his mother used to call him "Bobo"). His father is Colombian (the baker of the encanto) while his mother was Chilean (she is long passed away in the canon setting). He is a year younger than Isabela and Dolores, he is a tutor and teaches children below school age in how to read, write and count. He's an excellent storyteller, very into drama and he's a self-proclaimed scientist, as he attempts to invent things to make life easier. His shed, more than often, explodes because of his inventions and experiments.

A running gag is that his hair is perfect (yes, that is a reference. figure out that one.)

He believes firmly that science is more reliable and stable than magic and he has clashed with Isabela since they were both in school. What most people don't know is that he's fond of Isabela when she is herself, he's very shy of his feelings and he pays dearly for it when he watches Isabela and Mariano in the movie events (you'know, so much pining and yearning).

Frankly, the union between Isabela and Roberto is also a union between magic and science, how those two elements can co-exist and honestly? Isabela is apparently into the awkward nerd-type. XD

Roberto Marquez, a Mexico-born artist

Marquez, is an artist who views his work as social advocacy and thus went to Ukraine where he set up a makeshift, open-air studio.

“It really touched me,” recalled Marquez, who was in his native Mexico at the time.

With the blessing of Ukrainian officials, he went to work there on a pair of large canvases.

Outfitted in his 10-gallon leather hat and a bandolier holding his brushes, Marquez painted for more than a month.

He created two works – one 6 feet by 14 feet, the other 6 feet by 9 feet.

With the help of Ukrainian friends, Marquez also crafted wooden crosses, which he planted in the ground next to the rubble of a bridge. The idea came from the crosses placed by activists along the US-Mexico border to commemorate migrants who died or disappeared there.

“I’m a person of the border,” said Marquez, 60.

He said he was 15 when he crossed the border rom Tijuana and went to work as an agricultural hand in California. As one of millions who acquired legal status through the 1986 US amnesty law, he became a US citizen. He later embarked on a lucrative real estate career in Dallas and had four children.

Marquez turned to art as a sideline in the 1990s. Among his first works was a portrait of his mother as a young girl, painted at a time when she was gravely ill with cancer.

“That was like opening the door to another world,” he said.

His creative run turned to activism during the Trump era when Central American migrants began heading toward the US-Mexico border. In Tijuana, he unveiled a huge variation of the US flag, one that lacked stars and was meant to dramatise the contribution of immigrants.

He called the work “United States of Immigrants”.

He later created on-site artworks at Black Lives Matter rallies and other national protests. “I want to be exactly where the action is,” he said. “That’s where I get my inspiration.”

He stayed in Poland a few weeks, producing cubist takes.

He left a handful of completed works behind, and although he is not sure what happened to all of them, he heard that some are now in the possession of Polish museum officials.

“Every time that I do a project, always the first thing that comes to mind is: What do I need to do to connect to people?” he explained.
