Santiago Parra: Unconscious

September 9 - October 1, 2022

There is a moment in this intense concentration where consciousness shuts down giving way to the unconscious mind. In this moment I enter a trance and begin to paint; it is only when I regain consciousness that I lift the brush, the process taking three or four seconds at most.
