Gestures Recaptured in Time
A dynamic interplay of fluid watercolour washes and gestural pencil marks creates a layered visual language that feels both spontaneous and deeply considered. Parlá's signature approach to mark-making evokes the passage of time, with overlapping strokes and traces resembling the weathered surfaces of urban walls or the residue of lived experience. The work on paper captures a sense of memory in motion, as if fragments of history and personal narrative are being simultaneously uncovered and recorded.
