Lexus LBX Bitone, a Unique Piece of Takumi Craftsmanship

Artist Jorge Parra joins the Lexus Takumi Academy with a highly personal project inspired by the Lexus LBX Bitone. The canvas, made of organic cotton, is one of the pyjamas from his Monsieur Parra Suite collection, where he hand-paints the geometric shapes of a backgammon board in black and yellow, just as the Takumi masters would.

The final touch of this exclusive piece is the cufflinks shaped like the Lexus logo, transforming it from pyjamas into an early 20th-century racing driver's suit.

Parra (Madrid, April 23, 1990) showed his passion for art from a young age, turning the walls of his home into impromptu canvases. Today, he is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans mural painting, scenography, plastic arts, and film direction. With a creative energy that knows no bounds, his work is a vibrant blend of the classical and the contemporary, where the old meets the new in every stroke and image.

From a young age, Jorge was drawn to the grandeur of past eras, particularly the 18th century and the early 20th century. Artists like Jean Cocteau, Federico García Lorca, Maruja Mallo, Zuloaga, Goya, and Murillo left a profound mark on his understanding of art. His work echoes the symbolic, the poetic, and the revolutionary, with each brushstroke being a conversation between the past and the present, between what was and what could be.

The influence of Neoclassicism, with its elegance and harmony, merges with the avant-garde of the Bauhaus School, whose functional and modern principles resonate in his approach to space. In cinema, Jorge draws inspiration from the complex and emotive worlds of great Italian directors like Pasolini, Visconti, and Fellini, as well as the deep atmospheres of French cinema.

What truly distinguishes Jorge Parra is his ability to blend all these influences with a fresh, close, and vibrant perspective. His style, deeply marked by the light and warmth of the Mediterranean, is a celebration of life, colour, and the energy of the present moment. It is his own way of reinterpreting art, creating work that not only respects the legacy of the past but also dialogues with the future in a unique and always innovative manner.

He has worked for some of the most prestigious luxury brands, such as Cartier, Bvlgari, Dior, Jo Malone, Ruinart, La Mer, Karl Lagerfeld, among many others, who have trusted his creativity to elevate their visions to new heights.

But beyond brands and accolades, what defines Jorge Parra is his deep love for history, culture, and life itself. Every piece he creates is a declaration of that love: an invitation to travel through time, discover new visual narratives, and connect with the viewer on a visceral and profound level. Day by day, he continues to challenge the boundaries of creation, leaving a mark that endures long after his art has been contemplated.
