Kozmik Myztik is a piece born from my fascination with mushrooms, robots, and inspiration drawn from a wild dream I once had. It took me five years to finally settle on the composition of this piece. It originally started off as something completely different—I was trying to illustrate a strange dream where all the structures were candy-striped, and there were spinning mechanical cupcakes floating through surreal landscapes.
What began as an attempt to bring that original vision to life completely transformed into something else. Sometimes, with art—and life—you have to abandon your original plan and tune into your feelings. That’s exactly what I did here. As I let go and trusted the process, I very subtly began to see a robot form emerging from the chaos, eventually shaping itself into an abstract mushroom.
Both the robot and the mushroom were hidden within the layers of the piece, and it took years of refinement to reveal them.
Kozmik Myztik taught me a profound lesson in patience: that if you allow things the time and space they need to evolve, what emerges is often far better than anything you originally set out to create. It's a testament to the magic that happens when you feel your way through the process rather than forcing the outcome.
