Born with Jamaican roots in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Bria Bridges is a Chicago-based multimedia artist specializing in painting, video editing, graphic design, and photography.

Her paintings portrays the Black experience through a surrealist lens, blending early 20th-century art movements with modern influences like abstract and neo-expressionism.

By bending reality, Bria creates a bright, fantasized version of the world where ethnic features are celebrated.

Her use of vibrant colors and exaggerated forms offers a playful energy while inviting introspection.

Her artist name, Subconshis, reflects her process of creating on auto-pilot, bringing hidden thoughts to light.
