How Art and Psychedelics Work Together
<p>Ever wondered if there’s a link between the magic behind Silicon Valley’s big ideas and uncoventional art? You’re not alone. From books by <strong>Michael</strong> <strong>Pollan</strong> to eye-opening <strong>Netflix</strong> documentaries, it’s not just the rebels and misfits talking about psychedelics anymore. Big names like <strong>Sting</strong> and <strong>Ben</strong> <strong>Stiller</strong> are opening up about how these experiences changed their lives. So, as an artist, I had to dive in and explore what this all means for creativity.</p>
<p>Moreover, the psychedelics and mystery around them amazed me so much since then that I, together with my sister, built an art brand ‘<a href="https://instagram.com/sk.ape_atelier?igshid=MmIzYWVlNDQ5Yg%3D%3D" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>SK•APE Atelier</strong></a>’ strongly revolving around and emphasizing psychedelic motifs. So, what is exactly the relation between art and these mysterious substances?</p>
<h2><strong>Historical Connection</strong></h2>
<p>Firstly, psychedelics and art have a long, complex history that crosses many planes — mental, spiritual, and naturally, artistic. We trace the relationship between altered states of consciousness and art back to prehistoric cave paintings.</p>
<p>Numerous academics believe these to have been produced as a result of hallucinogenic visions, perhaps aided by naturally occurring psychedelics. In the 20th century, famous figures like <strong>Steve Jobs</strong> and <strong>Alex Grey</strong>, as well as more well-known people, acknowledged the influence of psychedelics on their creativity.</p>
<p>Additionally, this historical development indicates that we come from a long line of philosophers and artists who have found inspiration beyond the ordinary.</p>
