Visionary Art by Samuel Farrand

Cernunnos | 2023
This piece takes the name from the Celtic God of Nature and is inspired my forest spirits. The reason behind this piece is from a mushroom trip. I ate some golden teachers at a festival and had the most intense open-eyed visuals.
When I was coming down from the mushrooms I kept seeing these tiled elven creatures which were magical and made of light well eventually these elven creatures started to morph into goblins and trolls which is what this piece depicts.
Aside from being a profound mushroom experience that stuck with me this piece is symbolic as it was the very first art piece I had made while transitioning from a very difficult and challenging time in my life. I feel like Cernunnos is a glimpse into the earth spirit realms and at the sametime offers up an energy of rebirth and renewal.

Creating visionary art as early as 2007, Samuel Farrand evokes the psychedelic style of artists such as Alex Grey, Robert Venosa, Victor Moscoso, Luke Brown, and Xavi Panneton.
Samuel weaves electrifying neon colors, complex patterns, and intricate mandalas into his visionary art, narrating a story in each piece rich with meaning and symbolism.
Today, Sam has become one of the leading artists in the modern psychedelic art movement. He has showcased his visionary work at venues such as Threyda along side other digital artists such as Android Jones, Jake Amason, Steven McCorry (Glass Crane) & Justin Totemical as well as temporary art installations across Burning Man and psytrance music festivals across the globe. He has teamed with VJ greats such as Jonathan Singer who has projection mapped for the Grateful Dead Fare Thee Well Tour and appeared behind famous DJs such as Trip-Hop Legend Dave Tipper.
Samuel Farrand's visionary art extends beyond music festival culture. Notably, his work is featured at Meow Wolf in both the Las Vegas and Santa Fe locations.
One of his fondest career moment was having his visionary artwork grace the cover of best-selling author/plant shaman Chris Kilham's best-selling cult literature "Ayahuasca: A Test Pilot's Handbook," which was featured live on CNN—a pivotal moment in the history of plant medicine.
