Psychedelic art...


Psychedelic art is intricate detailed with many colors, often crazy, or mysterious. It draws from different influences tribal, or kinetic with optical illusions, and embraces a wider spectrum of surrealism. But at the heart of it is the expression of the spirit. Sometimes they are very simple with representation of intrinsic behavior of mind.
Every creative person who has ever taken a psychedelic substance yearns to express the experience. Among other things, psychedelics have a most extraordinary effect on the imagination and the optical cortex of the brain. Visual art that is reminiscent of the kinds of hallucinatory visions-- intricate, brightly colored, unusual, complex, imbued with meaning, and often geometrically organized-- that one sees with closed eyes during this hyper-dimensional brain state has been dubbed "psychedelic art".
The psychedelic art is any art triggered by the manifestation of the inner world. Thus, it may come in various forms, such as tribal art, raw art, kinetic art with optic illusions and / or surrealism. The climax of the psychedelic art was in the ‘60s, arguing for an open mind and consciousness for global solutions in the society. Its boundaries and origins are hard to identify since it is present in a large spectrum of areas, namely in literature, cinema, comics, music, fashion, advertising etc.

A New Vista in My Creative Journey: Entering Digital Art in 2025 by Prabuddha Ghosh A fter more than thirty-five years of dedicated engagement with photography and nearly two decades of sustained practice in digital photography, I have now entered a new and significant phase of my creative journey: the field of Digital Art.

Sunflower: The Luminous Axis of Art, Spirit and Contemporary Consciousness By Prabuddha Ghosh

Sunflower: The Luminous Axis of Art, Spirit and Contemporary Consciousness By Prabuddha Ghosh The sunflower remains one of the most evocative subjects in visual culture—bridging art, spirituality and lived experience. More than a botanical form, it operates as a symbol of light, temporality and inner alignment, continually reinterpreted across cultures and artistic movements. Native to the Americas, sunflowers were cultivated by indigenous communities for food, medicine and pigments used in craft and visual expression. Introduced to Europe in the 16th century, they gradually evolved from utilitarian crops into ornamental and symbolic forms. Their heliotropic nature—turning toward the sun—established them as universal emblems of devotion, vitality and spiritual seeking. In India, the sunflower resonates with the energy of Surya, embodying abundance and the eternal rhythm of life, death and rebirth. Across cultures, it has symbolized courage, longevity, gratitude and optimism. Even i...

The Unwritten Verse: Tagore’s Soul in Color and Form (Commemorating the 164th birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore) by Prabuddha Ghosh Rabindranath Tagore , fondly and universally known as Gurudev , is widely celebrated as a Nobel laureate in literature. However, what remains lesser known is his profound and unexpected entry into the world of visual art during the later years of his life. While primarily recognized for his poetry, prose, songs, drama, novels, and philosophical thought, Tagore’s foray into painting revealed yet another dimension of his boundless creativity.

His artistic expressions are far from mere historical artifacts—they are living, breathing creations that continue to captivate the contemporary imagination.
