Joseph Bernadas is a self-taught artist living in Northern California. He describes his process of making art as 'pareidolistic', from the word pareidolia, the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in random or ambiguous visual patterns. He believes in letting the subconscious guide the direction of the work based on what he sees during the initial painting process. He believes the patterns he perceives are dictated by the subconscious mind and therefore more honest to our own truths.
