Not only A but also B

Thanks for answering my question:)


In the sentence,


Modern art focuses not only on depicting the world of surfaces, but also the inner world of abstract thoughts and feelings.


Is the sentence correct?

I think A and Be in the phrase "not only A but also B" should be parallel.

So what about changing the sentence like this,


Modern art focuses on depicting not only the world of surfaces, but also the inner world of abstract thoughts and feelings.
