HOME BOUND
HOME BOUND was painted in 2025 with acrylic on canvas in the artist's signature graphic colour palette and design. The striking composition depicts a woman surrounded by her home comforts with her back turned and hands raised, symbolising her desire to be alone. Piet sees the piece as a “self-portrait but with a stunt double”, having painted it during a period when he was frequently alone while preparing for a solo exhibition.
PLAY STUPID GAMES
PLAY STUPID GAMES was painted in 2025 with acrylic on canvas in the artist's signature graphic colour palette and design. The striking composition highlighted by a black outline depicts an intimate moment between two sisters, blocking out the chaos of the world around them by playing a board game.









🖼️ Why You Should Care
Parra masterfully balances seclusion vs connection, offering a psychological and emotional diptych. The two prints reflect a life‑truth: the push‑pull between needing solitude and craving closeness.
