This page contains a selection of quotes and comments from some of Cyril's better known fans.
"I was always fond of Cyril due, not only for his creative ideas encompassed within the work he was carrying out in the refurbishment of furniture design in the early 1970's, but also for Cyril's profound interest in new ideas, and the furtherance of youngsters becoming involved in the creative elements. I believe that we had a bond simply because we were both encompassed within the confines of creation, appertaining to our separate professions. Music and design go hand in hand. Our shared interest was (and still is) the wonderful master paintings, and I was so excited to see a photograph of a master that Cyril housed in his loft at home. To this day, I still believe that the artist was Vermeer, but I never had the chance unfortunately, to view this masterpiece in person. Meeting Cyril was a wonderful experience, and I wish him good health and happiness, with many more years to come."
Les Reed OBE, Songwriter, Musician and Orchestra Leader
"I love Cyril Parfitt's work. Problem solvers see the world from a different aspect than others do. I enjoy Cyril's world: paint and sculpture, mathematics and solutions. His vision is his work. How beautiful must be his mind that at 96, he inhabits it still with pleasure and wonderment, satisfaction and expertise. Salutations and good fortune, LIVE LONG & PROSPER--Spock STAR TREK!"
Angie Bowie, Model, Actress, Musician, Poet and Writer
"The work of Cyril Parfitt was introduced to me by a family member many years ago. Although I have long been a lover of fantasy art, I am not a fanatical collector: Cyril is one of only two artists ever to appear on my study walls (the other being Rodney Matthews). He has a unique vision and a gift for magical landscape that grabs your attention and doesn't let go. I don't doubt that it would be possible to construct an entire novel on at least one of Cyril's pieces: instant inspiration!"David Lee Stone, Author of the Illmoor Chronicles and Gladiator Boy
"This website is a fantastic tribute to such an illustrious artist, bringing Cyril back to public attention and I hope that it serves to show more and more people his amazing artwork as time goes on."
