Psychedelic pencil drawings. Psychedelic paintings created by science
If, after seeing these pictures, you think that these are not real psychedelic drawings, I recommend looking at them longer, more carefully. Perhaps so dark artistic graphics can cause a depressing feeling, but that’s what the drawings are designed for. Each drawing reflects a certain state of consciousness of their “mad” author, namely...
The term "psychedelia" literally translates from Greek as "pure soul." Wikipedia says: psychedelia in general refers to a range of phenomena associated with the “change” and “expansion” of consciousness, and studies of mental stability. Unofficial "science" defines psychedelia as buzzword, cultural phenomenon, an unrecognized spiritual teaching, a breakthrough in psychology and an escape from reality. But these psychedelic drawings do not fit any definition; they do not look like the works of famous artists that appear in search results. Their paintings very rarely meet the parameters of psychedelic themes and are based more on mysticism (usually Indian peyote) rather than on reality. Their common name- acidic culture, but no more. If you call them psychedelic, then Andy Warhol’s portrait of Mao or Marilyn Monroe are also psychedelic drawings, and not at all American kitsch (pop art).
I know very well several artists who try to evoke certain states of consciousness in the viewer by creating mosaic canvases like mandalas. But these familiar artists are embarrassed to expose themselves, their real thoughts, sensations, their state of consciousness.
Meanwhile, in the history of painting there were individuals who were not shy about anyone. For example, Vrubel brilliantly conveyed the emotional principle in his canvases (see "Woman's Head" - a study for the Virgin and Child, "Prophet"). Also look at the engravings of Edvard Munch, although Munch is more decadent than crazy.
Psychedelic drawings extracted from the depths of the subconscious with simple material instruments: pen and black ink. The technique used is black and white (monochrome) line art on paper. Please do not worry about tonal and other flaws, because I am a professional artist and can (intentionally) allow myself to make any mistakes. I do what I want! But don't be like me.
If you take a juicy tomato and throw it at the wall, no! Why should I do this, let a twenty-two-year-old beauty launch it and spray her white dress. It also wouldn’t hurt for an artist to be splashed with the joy of life in order to paint beautifully. Most likely, the one who described life in the darkest colors harbored such a thing in his soul. great holiday, in comparison with which our everyday existence and the lady with the tomato - rat race. Hence the artist's school - the heavy holiday culture of the whole world.
By the way, good question to the artist: has he seen beauty?

To create such psychedelic paintings, you do not need to engage in spiritual practices that expand consciousness. It's enough just to get serious about science.

1. Some of the most famous and colorful paintings of this kind are fractal images. The fractal itself is a mathematical figure that has the property of self-similarity, that is, each part of this figure is similar to this figure itself. Today there are special programs, allowing you to create beautiful images fractals using a computer.
2. Julia set
It is simply impossible to tell what a Julia set is without using clever special mathematical terms. Without going into the mathematical jungle, we can only say that this is a self-similar boundary of the set of complex numbers, arranged according to a certain law. To calculate this particular photograph, the formula (1 − z3 / 6) / (z − z2 / 2)2 + c was used.
3. Amazing algae
This is what a colony of single-celled Volvox algae looks like under a microscope. The size of the entire ball, which contains from 200 to 50,000 cells, can reach up to 3 mm. The algae, members of the colony, are held together by special threads, the internal space of the colony is filled with mucus, and the algae flagella are directed outward. The entire colony is able to move in water due to the coordinated oscillation of flagella. Volvox have lived on Earth for 200 million years.
4. Soap bubble at 150x magnification
This photograph by Gred Gunter was ranked #18 on October. There is a constant play of light in a thin soap film, so it is very difficult to take such photographs.
5. “What lies behind our nose”
This image, taken by Hong Kong radiologist Kai-hung Fung from the Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital, received Grand Prize on International competition scientific and engineering visualization (International Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge) in 2007. This image was constructed by combining 182 CT scans of the nose into one frame. The skeletal bones from the images were removed to create a picture showing the detailed structure of the nasal sinuses.
6. Imitation of a sunspot
This photo was created in National Center atmospheric research. To create it, the most full information about sunspots was loaded into a super-powerful computer with a performance of 76 teraflops (76 trillion operations per second). The image simulates the processes occurring at a depth of 6000 km from the surface of the Sun.
7. Colorful tutorial
Illustration for the chapter on human sexuality from the 1972 textbook Biology Today. You can most often buy a painting with a psychedelic theme from collectors.
8. Birefringence in a quartz crystal
This effect was first discovered in Iceland spar crystals. Rays of light falling on the surface of the crystal are split into two components. In some cases, this phenomenon gives an amazingly beautiful play of color. This photo was taken by Mike Glaser from the University of Oxford.
9. Collision of subatomic particles
Scientists hope to see something like this if they do discover the Higgs boson, the existence of which was predicted in 1960 by Scottish physicist Peter Higgs. The registration of this boson could lead to the creation new theory peace.
10. Purple Himalayas
This image was taken using the ASTER radiometer installed on board the satellite. Thanks to this device, shooting can be carried out with a resolution from 15 to 90 m in 14 spectral ranges, ranging from visible light, ending with infrared. Near-infrared imaging allows the creation of highly accurate digital models of the Earth's surface, as well as maps of surface temperature, surface reflectivity, and more.
11. Model of “fiery heat”
This computer model of flame was created at the University at Buffalo Computational Research Center by Paul Desjarins and his colleagues during a series of fire experiments.
