The Mexican born artist Jose Parra impresses with superb colouring and draughtmanship. What interests most, however, is the strange world his artworks drags the viewer into. A surreal world inhabited by a strange mixture of quasi-historic, symbolic and mythological imagery. A flying ship, a naked King’s Fool in front of a strange world map, a Queen carried on the back of an elephant accompanied by a host of lightly clad men - all staring surprised at something outside the picture frame. What is it all about? The artworks are like illustrations to a great and mystical fantasy book, as yet unwritten. An interesting and intriguing collection, indeed.

The website is only partly translated to English, and the content of the artworks may possibly be more transparent to Spanish speaking readers.

I rate Jose Parra’s web gallery five out of six stars, click here to go to his website.
