“Subconscious Birth” (2015), a powerful diptych from the Space exhibition, is a visual investigation into the origin of consciousness. This oil painting on canvas represents the volcanic force with which emotion or idea emerges from the mind’s depths. The composition divides into two canvases that embody duality: one is primary chaos (red and black), and the other, form and space (blue and white).
The author, Felipe Peña, uses color as an act of energy, making each surface vibrate with palpable material tension. The painting seeks not an explanation, but a direct experience. The diptych as a whole simulates a cosmic event or an intense internal transformation. “Subconscious Birth” invites us to embrace the process of creation without personal narrative, observing how pure energy organizes itself and takes form, offering the viewer a pause to feel the intense present of existence.
