Sky Parra

Sky Parra is an emerging portrait and figuration painter based in Meanjin (Brisbane). Interested in the humanising materiality of paint, her fleshy works explore the emotive narratives of exchange and empathy. Investigating themes of truth and ontology, Parra’s practice loosely constitutes a site for existential inquiry, jockeying the ineffable human experience in a bid to record the passing of time and uncover the facets of our personal relationships. Working predominantly on a large scale, Parra uses a gestural impasto application to render naturalistic depictions of her subjects.
