Visionary Art by Samuel Farrand

Nierika | 2017

Nierika | 2017

Nierika is the Huichol word for Portal. Having a certain affinity for the intricate and painstaking beadwork the Huichol tribe of Mexico is infamous for, with this piece I felt inspired to create my own version of a huichol portal.

Using various beaded gourd bowls as aesthetic references, I created my own twist on this tribal art using my classic vivid colors on black style. I substituted the beads as beams of light to create a vivid psychedelic rendition of the Huichol peoples classic shamanic art style.

This design was an original composition I came up with myself and wasn't a copy from a pre-exsisting work of art. I love the way it came out and I feel this piece has a warm welcoming and inviting energy about it. Nierika invites you inward to explore all the details below!

Visionary Artist - Samuel Farrand

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.
