contents 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 $ρ$ of its fundamental group $π_1(X,x)$, 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 $\widehat{\mathcal{O}}_ρ$ to the representation variety of $π_1(X,x)$ at $ρ$. Then we show how a weighted-homogeneous presentation of $\widehat{\mathcal{O}}_ρ$ 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 ($ρ$ finite).
