Huachamama is inspired by a visionary experience I had, and its name merges Huachuma—the sacred cactus—and Pachamama, the revered Andean earth goddess. This piece is a doorway into an inner realm I tapped into during a profound vision.
In that space, I encountered a radiant, ancient spirit—an entity trying to communicate and reveal itself to me. It felt timeless, existing across countless lifetimes, carrying a wisdom that seemed stitched into the collective consciousness. I realized I wasn't alone in meeting this being—others, too, have felt its presence.
Huachamama is undoubtedly a guardian and protector spirit, infused with ancient knowledge, deep earth wisdom, and the timeless pulse of creation. Huachamama's presence is reminder there is much more to creation than what's on the surface.

About Samuel Farrand
Samuel Farrand began creating psychedelic art in 1998 following his first visionary experience, but it wasn’t until 2007 that his visual focus began to crystallize into the body of work he is known for today. Inspired by the psychedelic styles of Alex Grey, Robert Venosa, Victor Moscoso, Luke Brown, and Xavi Panneton, his artistic path was deeply influenced by their ability to unlock new visual languages rooted in consciousness.
His work blends neon color palettes, intricate mandalas, and layered patterns to tell symbolic, often personal stories. Each piece carries intention—sometimes spiritual, sometimes emotional, always deliberate.
Over the years, Farrand’s art has been featured in exhibitions with collectives like Threyda and alongside artists such as Android Jones, Jake Amason, Glass Crane, and Justin Totemical. His visuals have appeared in immersive environments at Burning Man and psytrance festivals around the world, as well as in collaboration with renowned projection artist Jonathan Singer, known for his visuals on the Grateful Dead’s Fare Thee Well tour. His artwork has also accompanied live sets by Trip-Hop pioneer Dave Tipper.
Beyond the festival scene, Farrand’s creations have found homes in larger installations at Meow Wolf locations in Las Vegas and Santa Fe. A standout moment in his career came when one of his works was featured on the cover of Ayahuasca: A Test Pilot’s Handbook by Chris Kilham, a moment made even more significant when it appeared live on CNN.
