Seeing and painting

I am realising that many times, I am painting that which I see but I am not conscious that I see it. That’s almost scary sometimes, but exciting in general.

I have said in the past to myself that I am blind and I slowly understand what I mean. I mean that there are images that aren’t projected to my conscious seeing eyes. I am not explaining it with great accuracy, but for a painter, I am doing the best I can with words. And as if painting is a technique for me to make myself see them.
