The Conscious Series: An Artistic Exploration of Presence
The Conscious Series by Felipe Peña represents a profound artistic inquiry centered entirely on the here and now. This collection stands as a cornerstone in the artist’s pursuit of pure consciousness and abstract painting.

These are not merely abstract works; they are visual meditations born from a deliberate void, stripped of all narrative intention and historical context. Each canvas seeks to achieve a state of pure awareness, mirroring the central, essential question that drives the artist: Who am I without experiences, memories, or desires? This philosophical questioning translates directly into a raw, unfiltered artistic process that resonates deeply with viewers interested in meditative art and contemporary abstraction.

Texture, Color, and the Matter of the Present
Through the intentional manipulation of color, texture, and matter, each individual piece within the Conscious Series acts as a visual prompt, inviting the viewer to pause and actively inhabit the present moment. The layering and contrast found in the abstract works serve as anchors, pulling the mind away from past anxieties or future projections and grounding it firmly in the immediate experience of viewing the painting.

The material choices—the depth of the pigments and the tactile quality of the surfaces—are essential elements of this exploration. They emphasize the physical reality of the art, making the act of perception a tangible experience. For those passionate about abstract expressionism and mindfulness, this series offers a unique synthesis where the canvas becomes a mirror for the mind’s state.

Expanding the Universe of INHALA
This powerful series forms an integral part of the universe created for the INHALA exhibition, yet it also continues its own independent search, pushing the boundaries of language and conventional contemporary art. While INHALA explored the breath and the moment, the Conscious Series dives deeper into the root of identity, stripping away layers until only pure form and feeling remain.

We invite collectors, curators, and enthusiasts of abstract art to engage with the Conscious Series. This collection is a testament to the power of artistic practice as a path toward self-discovery and a profound statement on the enduring relevance of non-representational art in facilitating introspection. Discover how these meticulously crafted pieces extend the search for consciousness beyond the limits of verbal expression and into the infinite possibilities of the visual realm.
