SURREALISM WITH MEXICAN ELEMENTS
José Parra started as an apprentice at his father’s studio in Guadalajara at the age of 16. He was able to develop his own compositions always influenced by the Spanish baroque sculpture, paintings and furniture manufactured at the family’s studio. He lived in Puerto Vallarta for short periods where he was able to begin a more personal style at first influenced by surrealism but blending it with Mexican elements like ‘Talavera’ (mainly blue patterns on Mexican fine pottery). His exhibitions and presentations on his homeland Guadalajara, have a growing audience and are always accompanied with exotic performances.
