Kozmik Myztik by Samuel Farrand

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.

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.
