Can you understand the psychedelic experience by consuming psychedelic art?
No way! This is something you have to experience with yourself and noone else can give you a real glimpse of how it will be like for it is the world of your own imagination, your own feelings, your own boundries that you are dealing with when you are going on a trip. After taking a voyage to the other world you have a lot of things to process for you might get climpses of reality that you could have not imagined before. Those insights can cause fear and anxiety as well as bliss and inner peace. Often the result is a overflowing will to create art of any kind. This is how many of the extraordinary peaces of art got inspired. Everyone has absolutly individual visions, at least thats what I assume after talking to friends about their visions. Also every trip is different and noone goes on the same trip twice, this is also a statement according to my experience.
Trips can lead you to heaven and hell - if you use the terminology of Christianity that Aldous Huxly also used - but for real there are infinite dimensions to explore. Some of them are beyond the duality of good and bad. People report that they could access their trauma experiences and let go of them, others report that they had mental or physical contact with extraterrestres or other enteties that we usually do not meet in daily life, others feel a childish curiosity to explore their surrounding and see things with different eyes, others report the feeling that they have left their bodies and travelled into a timeless space, and others face their deepest fears and are sometimes able to let them go.
In my artwork I try to illustrate some visual experiences of the psychedelic experience. As I said in the beginning it is hardly possible to grasp something transdimensional in a drawing or a gif because in that state it is really you who is looking at yourself while we you are looking at some external piece of art in this blog. Anyways I hope you like this drawing and gif I just created and my little introduction about the psychedelic experience.
I've always been fascinated by the incredible amount of minute details of psychedelic artworks.
I went skiing this past weekend, and while riding on the gondola with two other guys whom I hadn't met before, I overheard a conversation about DMT trips.
If I wasn't familiar with psychedelics, I would have probably thought they were crazy druggies or something, but I knew better. ;-) LOL

Understanding a trip from a drawing is needless to say futile as you say. As a psychonaut I must say the experience of looking at psychedelic AFTER you have experienced psychedelic trips is a game changer tho. In one sense I can sort of with my minds eye depict how it would look if I were tripping, a little like the last picture 🙏🏼
Otherwise, if you're into travelling, vlogs, fitness, self-development etc feel free to check out my channel, in any case keep up the good work and I'll see you around!

Nice post, I look forward to seeing more. I agree, how can a 2 (or 3) dimensional work of art capture a 4, 5, or 6 dimensional experience? However it certainly is always fun to try. I laugh because it has been quite a long time since I allowed myself to partake in such a trip, but I always found my art subpar while under the influence. Now that I am older, however, I wonder if I would appreciate and be willing to explore deeper into the more transpersonal levels of consciousness therefore create more meaningful art.
The school where I received my graduate degree has a heavy focus on transpersonal psychology as well as art therapy, and there is a lot of great research and theories created by therapists and psychologists who studied the human mind on LSD and other alternative methods of experiences. After the illegalization of psychedelics in the US, Stanislav Groff created a method called holotropic breathwork which, from what I hear, can have the same effect on clients without the use of drugs. The basis of holotropic breathwork is that, like psychedelics, it can activate the natural inner healing process of the individual’s psyche, bringing the client a particular set of internal experiences – from the perinatal to more transpersonal dimensions such as archetypal realms or other collective experiences. As you say, sometimes these experiences can be positive… and some can be quite distressing. Nonetheless, I am very interested in hearing more about other people’s experiences that combine therapy, hallucinogenics and art – including the recent study of using psilocybin to help cancer patients overcome existential anxiety caused by the fact that they may soon be experiencing their own death.
Here is an article I found that shows some interesting artwork within the article: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/12/03/504136736/how-a-psychedelic-drug-helps-cancer-patients-overcome-anxiety

It will take a while for me to still process the last week's night! =) One of the things that fascinated me to most was seeing the reality through the eyes of a graphic designer...I mean especially when playing with colors, it could have been the intro for a music video =) The draw is really cool btw, my senses right now allow me to perceive in a better way the second one, but I'm pretty sure the other 2 will appeal me more depending on the day time...

That's a nice piece of work there!
As you said - everyone would understand this differently, I'd say that these lines and drawing itself will lead indiviudual close to the doors of perception, into deeper state of mind. Now, it depends from person to person how far will it go...
Great work :)

The change of perspective one uncovers with a psychedelic trip is both empowering and humbling. This is a very cool piece of art! I look forward to viewing more.

It is a shame that most laws in our so called modern civilization prohibit even the slightest study of the effects of psycadelics on the depressed and traumatized or other mental disorders....
As for the art, I like what you did. You know the sacred geometric patterns we see in Alex Grey's work or the fractal art we see a lot of these days in digital work, that was pretty much how I used to see the skies when taking LSD and sometimes mushrooms!
Thanks for the art and sbaring your story! Following you for more...
