6 Trippy Psychedelic Artists To Check Out
Psychedelic trips often have a visual element, with colourful closed or open-eye hallucinations common. Taking psilocybin mushrooms and other psychedelics often enhances people’s creativity and breaks down mental barriers, allowing for freedom of expression.
It’s no surprise that there are many psychedelic artists who use their experiences in these altered states to inspire beautiful and detailed art pieces. The artistically talented are masters of conveying powerful emotional states and fantastic experiences through their art.
