How do you even focus to paint something that detailed while high off your mind? How do you remember that after a violent psychedelic trip in order to be able to paint it. How do you convey the same general concept but with stories and happenings and events or just ideas and philosophical concepts instead of shapes and colors? Psychedelia opens so many doors, but they are all so confusing to thread.

He folded the retarded ones to create symmetry and make them look prettier than they are.
This is how they actually look.

Tell me with a straight face this doesn't evoque the kind of "inspired by experiences with psychedelics" paintings that you see on the internet all the time, specially because the style is beat by beat drug-inspired psychedelic art.

Looks more like arabic-inspired art to me. When I think psychedelic I think something like Kandinsky (who also didn't take drugs).
