Empathy is a piece inspired by one of the most fascinating and mysterious human emotions—something psychologists and scientists still struggle to fully explain: why it exists at all.
When most people think of empathy, they associate it with the heart—with feelings of love and compassion. But in this piece, I shifted the focus to the mind. I illustrated it this way because when you are truly exercising empathy, you're placing yourself in another person's shoes—transferring your consciousness into theirs to feel what they feel.
In this empathic state of consciousness, telepathy can occur more naturally. I believe that’s because when you merge your awareness with another’s, the barriers dissolve, and it becomes easier to sense their thoughts and emotions.
In this untraditional interpretation, I depicted consciousness as a mass of energy and vibrations—interweaving and connecting with another’s consciousness, as if we are all part of a vast etheric network tied into a collective consciousness—a super memory that holds the experience of all beings.

About Me
I started creating psychedelic art in 1998 after my first visionary experience, but it wasn’t until 2007 that I began dialing into a more focused vision—one that has shaped the body of work I create today. I was deeply inspired by the psychedelic styles of artists like Alex Grey, Robert Venosa, Victor Moscoso, Luke Brown, and Xavi Panneton. Their work unlocked something in me, and I’ve been exploring that visual language ever since.
My art blends neon color palettes, intricate mandalas, and layered patterns to tell symbolic, often personal stories. Each piece reflects something deeper—sometimes spiritual, sometimes emotional, but always intentional.
Over time, I’ve had the opportunity to share this work through exhibitions with collectives like Threyda, and alongside artists I’ve long admired—Android Jones, Jake Amason, Glass Crane, and Justin Totemical. My visuals have appeared in installations at Burning Man and psytrance festivals worldwide, and I’ve collaborated with projection artists like Jonathan Singer, known for his work on the Grateful Dead’s Fare Thee Well tour. Some of my pieces have also accompanied live sets by Trip-Hop legend Dave Tipper.
It’s been meaningful to see this work extend beyond festivals—especially through installations at Meow Wolf in Las Vegas and Santa Fe.
One moment that stands out was having my art featured on the cover of Ayahuasca: A Test Pilot’s Handbook by Chris Kilham, which was shown live on CNN. It felt like a rare alignment between art, message, and medicine.
