Jorge Parra’s photographic work is a profound visual exploration of the alchemical process—a concept as much philosophical as it is symbolic. His portfolio transcends the mere depiction of the human form, elevating it into a space where spirituality, philosophy, and visual poetry converge. To appreciate the depth of his artistry, one must first understand Parra’s own journey: a trajectory that mirrors the transformations central to his work. A trained chemist who abandoned the rigidity of the laboratory for the boundless possibilities of the lens, Parra embodies the very principle of transmutation that fuels his creative endeavors.

The search for a space with the objective of a personal creative style without guidelines, which frequently eludes skill in its description, conveying elements that I cannot express in any other form because I cannot find the words, and that in visual terms, sometimes materializing in different results, transforming, adapting or interpreting a reality.

Since my art is focused on observer the first step is to connect the audience to my art. To do that I use intensity in my compositions. The intensity of contrast of the elements in the composition, scene- drama, mood - colors I achieve by lines that are shaping the objects in the image by dividing it from the background and connecting it with everything else in the painting. Also, I merge everything else in the painting with this shape like with all other shapes of the composition.

By creating photographic compositions that exist simultaneously as physical objects and dynamic perceptual experiences, Harris situates himself at the forefront of the Techspressionist movement. His images are not merely captured; they are constructed, layered, and transformed into multi-sensory events, blurring the line between photography, sculpture, and digital art.

As an artist, I feel a deep responsibility to preserve and reinterpret cultural elements in innovative ways. I believe that tradition and innovation can coexist harmoniously, and my work seeks to capture the cultural essence while presenting it in a new and contemporary way. I use modern techniques and innovative materials to give new life to traditional motifs, such as landscapes, flora and fauna, but always with an abstractionist and spiritual touch.

My vision can sometimes take an abstract quality, playing on the illusion of two dimensions and highlighting the interplay of light on surface textures. These elements combine to create a visual language, where perspective ambiguity and the fluidity of light and colour blend, inviting the spectator into another visual dimension that is abstract, to look deeper into elements of our world and question our relationship and co-existence with it.

Through the duality between being a passive and active subject, it reveals a dark and dreamlike universe. Her self-portraits, fusing Fine Art and Trash, are an invitation to explore the inner abyss. Unusual compositions challenge norms, empowering her art. Self-taught, she extracts sidereal images from her melancholic universe, composing pieces that question existence. Her own style, Fine Art Trash, fuses aesthetic elegance with the raw darkness, inherited from Punk, creating striking photographs. Each image, a piece that challenges norms, immerses the viewer in a sea of ​​contemplations, inciting emotional and intellectual responses. Her art, a visual symphony that screams the chaotic and provocative essence of challenging established norms.

Could you share with us the story of how you first became interested in photography? What were your initial steps in this field, and who or what were your early inspirations and influences?   

While at the school of Architecture in Florence, Italy I became a very good friend of a fellow student who was also very interested in photography.  We ended up traveling together through parts of Europe and N. Africa after the school year taking pictures.  We inspired each other.  My early inspirations were Avedon.  My first serious camera was a Rolleiflex twin lens reflex because that's what he used.  Then later, I loved the work of Guy Bourdin and Hiro.

In your professional journey, what have been some of the most significant challenges you've faced, and how have you adapted your approach or technique in response to these challenges?

I feel a bit sheepish in admitting it, but, instead, I’ve been surprised, even amazed, at the success I've had. 

There are, of course, the technical challenges from continuing to work in film—finding film suppliers and processors.  For a time, I figured I would be compelled to switch over to digital photography despite my preference for the film image, but, although I still consider myself one of the dinosaurs who sees the asteroid coming, I no longer think film photography will die out before I do…
