Quotes from Jose Parla

Sometimes I'm inspired by a certain part of my life - I'm thinking about a place and I'll mix the colors from memory.

For me, the canvas is an abstract interpretation of a wall. It's a piece of art with its own history, one that alludes to the passage of time and to the theater of life.

When I was young I was constantly reading walls; I took in everything written on walls, from love messages to political messages. It was my hobby and became my art.

My work is an exploration of the self. I've always been concerned with how I'm living and how that reflects in the painting.
