Ungulation by Samuel Farrand

Ungulation by Samuel Farrand

Ungulation is inspired by the idea of creating a composition where all the negative space is active, and I thought that by doing so, it would theoretically make the piece feel more alive and have movement. It was only by accident that a deer/stag with antlers emerged from it, but I went with the energy of the piece and began crafting it centered around a focused stag design.

This was a fun piece because I didn't have any set intention—I approached it as a free-form expression, and I feel that free-flowing nature came through in the final result, giving it a flowing and energetic quality. This piece reminds us to approach life in a more improvisational way, and when you do that, you give energy the space to work its magic.

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.
