By using everything he can get his hands on, he creates disorienting compositions that merge high fashion imagery with his own DIY zine aesthetic.

 

 

Parentela’s playful style brings these portraits to life as they toe the line between dada and pop art. Spontaneous and energetic, the raw layering of his collages gives us a bit of insight into what is going through the artist’s mind.
