José Parlá

José Parlá is a Brooklyn-based contemporary artist known for his dynamic, calligraphic abstract paintings, blending layers of color, texture, and gestural marks to evoke the energy and history of urban environments. His work draws inspiration from graffiti, city walls, and the passage of time, transforming weathered surfaces into expressive narratives. Parlá’s signature palimpsestic technique, incorporating text, found materials, and layered paint, bridges the worlds of street art, abstraction, and calligraphy. With increasing recognition through public installations such as ONE: Union of the Senses at One World Trade Center and exhibitions in New York, London, and Havana, his paintings and large-scale works are highly sought after.
