Abstract: We describe locally the representation varieties of fundamental groups for smooth complex varieties at representations coming from the monodromy of a variation of mixed Hodge structure. Given such a manifold $X$ and such a linear representation $ho$ of its fundamental group $p{i}_1(X,x)$, we use the theory of Goldman-Millson and pursue our previous work that combines mixed Hodge theory with derived deformation theory to construct a mixed Hodge structure on the formal local ring $widehat{mathcalO}_{h}o$ to the representation variety of $p{i}_1(X,x)$ at $ho$. Then we show how a weighted-homogeneous presentation of $widehat{mathcalO}_{h}o$ is induced directly from a splitting of the weight filtration of its mixed Hodge structure. In this way we recover and generalize theorems of Eyssidieux-Simpson ($X$ compact) and of Kapovich-Millson ($ho$ finite).
