Adam Scott Miller, an acute lifelong visionary artist, has come through art academia with a BFA in Illustration from the Maryland Institute College of Art and a MFA in Painting from the Massachusetts College of Art. Throughout, he has integrated key principles of insight from art, science, and mysticism towards the road less-traveled of honest devotion to limitless growth and dilating creativity. Adam’s paintings are praised globally for their transcendetail and the elegant envisioning of reality as emergent from the unified-field ecology of energy.

Always interested in painting and drawing from a young age, Andy began his career with his involvement in Melbourne’s early rave scene back in 1993 creating UV murals for parties. His love of electronic music and all things digital lead him into the realm of computers in 1997 after finishing a graphic design course at Monash University Melbourne.

In recent years he has begun to experiment with creating a visual fusion between Nature and Technology, by taking photos of plants, insects and machines and compositing them with artificially created forms in various 3D programs. The very process of the art he creates is symbolic of mankind’s continuing corruption of the natural world. His photographic endeavours have led him to such exotic locations as Borneo, Laos and the rainforests of Tasmania and the Daintree River.

Autumn Skye Morrison was born on the Parrsboro Shore in Nova Scotia, in June of 1983. As she grew up, her family gradually made their way West across Canada. Her father settled in the small town of Field in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, as well as Columbia Lake. Her mother and stepfather built their home “off the grid” between Powell River and Lund on the Sunshine coast. Spending her youth between the majesty of the mountains and the serenity of the ocean and lush forest, Autumn Skye developed a deep appreciation for natural beauty, and a sense of wonder at life and the world around her.

As soon as she was old enough to hold a pencil, she would spend countless hours playing with colours and figures.

She has traveled throughout North America, Mexico, South East Asia, and Hawaii, spellbound by unfamiliar landscapes and the cultures therein. Inspired, the impressions linger with her when she returns home to her studio.

Autumn Skye lives and paints in her home North of Powell River, overlooking a sweeping expanse of ocean, islands, mountains, and sky. She considers herself among the blessed of the blessed, and lives each day in gratitude and joy of being able to share her art and inspiration.

Mati Klarwein was born in Hamburg on the 9th of April 1932, to a Jewish architect father from Polish origins, and a German opera singer mother. The three of them fled to Palestine when he was two years old after the rise of Nazi Germany.
“I am only half German and only half Jewish with an Arab soul and a African heart” Improved Paintings Max Publishing © 2000
(Later for a time Mati adopted the name of Abdul Mati Klarwein: “He wanted to have both a Muslim and a Jewish name: he was the healer,” said a friend.)

In 1948, Mati and his mother moved to Paris where he enrolled at the Academie Julien having previously dropped out of school in Israel and been sent at the age of 15 to an Art college in Jerusalem. He later studied with painter Fernand Leger, who introduced him to the art of Salvador Dalí, Buñuel, and the world of surrealism. Later in his life, he befriended Dalí, writing about his bizarre encounters with Salvador’s sexual behaviours in his book “Collected Works 1959-1975”. In Paris, he also met Viennese fantastic realist painter Ernst Fuchs.”Ernst insisted on teaching me his mixed technique of Van Eyck and the Flemish school. I learned it in one week and sold every one of my paintings ever since.”

With Paris as his base Mati spent long periods of time traveling, painting portraits during summers in Saint Tropez and, together with his father, who had recently won the competition to build Israel’s Parliament, the Kneset, he started to build a house in the small village of Deia, Majorca, having fallen in love with this place during a short visit, invited by archeologist Bill Waldren. In Deia he also became good friends with the poet Robert Graves, who was followed by many other artists who settled in this small community.

Klarwein moved to New York in 1965. By then his work was considered to be inspired by surrealism and the so-called psychedelic movement of the time. However, it was more his extensive traveling and wide interests of non-Western deities and symbolism that inspired his art more than the use of psychedelic drugs. His friend Timothy Leary once stated, that judging the character of his paintings, “Mati didn’t need psychedelics!” During his New York years he created paintings such as Bitches Brew, commissioned by Miles Davis for his landmark album of the same title. He also completed many portraits of people such as John F. Kennedy, his friend Jimmy Hendrix and other important characters of the time, and finished his large scale project, The Aleph Sanctuary, a cubic temple of all religions, featuring 68 paintings, representing some Biblical passages such as “Anunciation” (1961) (later used by Santana for the cover of his best selling album, Abraxas), “Crucifixion” (1963-1965) represented by a highly sexual tree of life which caused quite a turmoil within the puritan white establishment as well as with the black panthers, “Nativity”(1962), “Grain of Sand” (1963-1965), and many other of Mati’s best known paintings. Later, Klarwein was forced to dismantle his Chapel and sell the paintings individually for economical reasons. The chapel was rebuilt in 1992 using aluminum structures to hold Plexiglas reproductions lit by rows of fluorescent tubes.

Mati settled in Deia in the early 80’s, working from his studio and home up in the northern costal mountains, surrounded by the landscapes that he so admired and painted in such astonishing detail as may be seen in his collection of “real-estate paintings” or “inscapes”. Also during these years, he created a number of “improved paintings” a collection that he had begun in the 1970’s, where he would purchase unwanted paintings in thrift stores and flea markets and bring them back to life by “improving” or recycling them, adding his own brush strokes to the originals, giving them a new meaning, often humorous, and if placed, always sharing both artists signatures.

Still best known for his art of the 1960s and 1970s, (featured in a vast collection of important album covers). Mati also worked more conventionally across a variety of genres including still life, landscape, and commissioned portraits. The amount of these are considerable, from Brigitte Bardot to Leonard Bernstein, Richard Gere, Geraldine Chaplin. Robert Graves, Peggy Hitchcock, Nan Kempner, Florence Van der Kemp, Yussef Lateef, Donyale Luna, the Mellon family, Jean Baptiste Mondino, Carmen Rossi, and many more…

Klarwein had two daughters and two sons, Eleonore (b.1963) with painter Sofie Bollack, Serafine (b.1971) with writer and photographer Caterine Milinaire , Balthazar (b.1985) and Salvador (b.1988) with painter Laure Klarwein.
Mati died on the 7th of March of 2002 in his home in Majorca.

AMANDA SAGE’s art is a language in which she converses with the world, spirit, herself and the people around her. Subliminal, whispering or screaming it is a guide & her teacher as it patiently waits for her to listen.

Amanda was born April 19, 1978 in Denver, Colorado to her mother YOU and father Jackson, with two brothers still to come. Her childhood was filled with healthy, tropical, media-free, creative freedom in Florida without the distraction of formal schooling until she entered 4th grade in Colorado. After finishing high school in Boulder, Colorado in 1996 at the Shining Mountain Waldorf School (where ‘coincidentally’ her high school art teacher was the Fantastic/Visionary artist HIKARU, her travels and projects bounced her between Bali, Indonesia and Vienna, Austria. Sam Bull from Leap Now helped guide her in connecting with the revolutionary midwife Robin Lim in Bali, and initiating the first contact with the artist and teacher Philip Rubinov Jacobson. After graduating she went to Bali as a volunteer for close to a year, and amongst other projects & exotic distractions, illustrated an herbal book with over 70 indigenous plants and herbs for the natural Birthing Clinic, now called Bumi Sehat. In this time she also extended production of her Batik clothing and design project that she had started in high school with her dear friend Leilea Satori, and this continued on amidst bouncing around the globe between the US, Vienna and Bali till the year 2000.
Through meeting Philip Rubinov Jacobson in 1996 and by his introduction and guidance she was invited to do a private 2 year intensive experiment to study the techniques of painting and etching of the old masters as an apprentice under the classical/fantastic artist Michael Fuchs in Vienna Austria.

Following this in 1999 he introduced her to his father, internationally famed godfather of Fantastic and Visionary Art, Ernst Fuchs and has since been a student and painting assistant on various projects throughout Europe. Michael taught her to “see” the world around her through the brush and the Old Master techniques in painting. Ernst has reminded her to “listen”, which has opened up other ways of ”seeing” and perceiving.

Since 2000 Amanda has been blessed with sharing a beautiful studio in the WUK, a self-governed culture house in Vienna (the biggest one of it’s kind in Europe), with her friend and colleague Paula Aguilera Pacheco a sculptor, painter and animator originally from Chile. The WUK has been an amazing playground for learning, creating and discovering new systems of group-interaction and presentation. She served for 2 years as a member of the Board of Directors of the WUK, and then for 6 years as Administrator of one of the major sections of the studio’s and workshops together with Paula, as well as initiating and organizing various events the largest being the ‘MAZE’ an open studio’s event in 2005 & 6. This has provided her with community, as well as space and time to discover her own visions, share questions and absorb information.

She has exhibited Solo and in Group Shows in Galleries, Salons and in various projects/events worldwide since 1999, including London, Vienna, Munich, Berlin, Bali, Colorado, Seattle, San Francisco and most exotically at Burning Man , hanging next to renowned visionary artists and friends such as Martina Hoffmann and Robert Venosa.

Android Jones has been heralded as “the apocalyptic art shaman”. His work is a hybrid of academic training, emerging technology and the mystical experience, bringing together a mixture of archetypal mythology and spirituality. Android is a co-founder of CONCEPTART.org. And has worked as the creative director and co-founder of Massive Black Android has used this internet portal to launch a series of highly acclaimed art workshops, and has traveled the world teaching art to students. With work featured on the box cover of the newly released Corel Painter X, he is a leader in the digital fine art community, and works closely with the developers of emerging digital technology to create software that gives artists new tools to create their dreams. Most recently, Andrew began performing live on-stage as a digital painter, touring with underground DJs and bands. A master of the digital art medium, Andrew continues to push the limits of what?s possible with the manipulation of light and energy and is on the front line of innovation as he creates masterpieces live, onstage, In Andrews Live painting he searches to capture the invisible energetic elements of life that no photo or video camera are capable of reflecting.

Luke Brown is an intrepid explorer, part of a new generation of visionaries recontructing the templates of culture as we know it. His art speaks of the spiritual mysteries in the human imagination.

Mystical experiences, dreams, medicine journeys, and channelled lucid dialogues with the source of creativity itself, seem to guide and be guided by the colourful symmetries and living surfaces of his art. Much of his work emerges from a graceful synthesis of digital and painting mediums. Developing his work through mix and remix technologies, Luke is constantly redefining his style as a spiritual medium for growth. He is intent on mapping his hyperspatial experiences with utmost accuracy, with whichever medium seems best suited, as a form of multidimensional cartography.

His art has been shown internationally with such visionary heavyweights such as Alex Grey, HR Giger, Robert Venosa and Ernst Fuchs. He is currently a resident of the lush Elfinstone rainforest in BC Canada, one of an infinite number of parallel universes in which he resides within simultaneously.

The Fantastic Realism art of Robert Venosa has been exhibited worldwide and is represented in major collections, including those of noted museums, rock stars and European aristocracy. In addition to painting, sculpting and film design (pre-sketches and conceptual design for the movie Dune, and Fire in the Sky for Paramount Pictures, and the upcoming Race for Atlantis for IMAX), he has recently added computer art to his creative menu. His work has been the subject of three books, as well as being featured in numerous publications – most notably OMNI magazine – and on a number of CD covers, including those of Santana and Kitaro.

New York City born, Venosa was transported into the world of fine art in the late 60’s after having experimented with psychedelics and having seen the work of the Fantastic Realists – Ernst Fuchs and Mati Klarwein in particular – both of whom he eventually met and studied under. Of his apprenticeship with Klarwein, Venosa says, “What a time (Autumn, 1970) that turned out to be! Not only did I get started in proper technique, but at various times I had Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, Jackie Kennedy and the good doctor Tim Leary himself peering over my shoulder to see what I was up to.

That loft was the energy center in New York, and I reveled in it. And somehow, miraculously, in the midst of all the nonstop pandemonium taking place every day I learned to lay the paint down properly. Even though it was ever put to the test , discipline was one of the more important necessities that Mati emphasized and – through his own adherence – strongly impressed on me: I could only join in the festivities after my work was done and all brushes were washed. Mati taught well the techniques of painting and, even more relevant, of quality living. I’m honored to have been one of the fortunate few to have studied with him.”

Venosa moved to Europe in the early 70’s settling in the celebrated Mediterranean village of Cadaques in Spain, where he enjoyed the honorable and mighty pleasure of getting to know and hang with neighbor Salvador Dali, as well as the numerous notables in the world of art and literature who gravitated to that magic locale. Much of Venosa’s work and attendant exploits have been published in his book, Noospheres (Pomegranate Artbooks). In it Venosa talks of the attitudinal complications of his returning to the U.S. after years of living in Europe: “In 1982 – due to a number of commissions, commercial allurements and a burgeoning recognition of my work afforded through extensive exposure in OMNI magazine and on record album covers – I started traveling to the U.S., dividing my time there between New York and Boulder, Colorado.

Enjoying the clear, clean mountain air and relatively sane consciousness of its populace, I settled on Boulder as my base in the States. Compared to the raucous, colorful activity of Cadaques, Boulder appeared somewhat anorexic. But the siren of success, along with the Muse of Mammon, wailed a seductive tune, irresistible in its promise but demanding in the changes deemed necessary if I were to sing along: The Merry Mediterranean mirage would have to give way to the Aggressive American Kindergarten for a season or two. There would be exhibits to arrange, press releases to disseminate, collectors to romance, critics to confuse and an entirely new sense of art to cultivate. My idea of art, as previously understood, would require major surgery if I were to immerse myself in the American standards and expectations of what that word represented.

The admiration and aristocratic respect given the artist in Europe is stripped clean upon arrival in the U.S. as these architects of culture are transmogrified into novelty items and entertaining curiosities. The centuries-old tradition of dedication and perfection while working in the solitude of a tranquil studio at the limited speed allowed by brush and paint is left at the gates of the rapid-fire, nonstop, instant-sensual-gratification American sitcom culture. Trying to compete in the fast lane of the high-velocity illusions and banal delusions of movies and TV poses a problem for the painter and his two-dimensional immobile images. Nevertheless, the challenge, then as now, of affecting the consciousness with more eternal value cannot be denied, and so, combining the historical deep roots of European culture with the dynamic of America’s youthful energy, an attempt is constantly made”.

Presently Venosa maintains studios in both Boulder, Colorado, and Cadaques. He also devotes a few weeks each year giving workshops at such institutes as Naropa in Boulder, Skyros Institute on the island of Skyros in Greece, and Esalen at Big Sur, California.

Martina Hoffman works as a painter and sculptress.

Her paintings offer the viewer a detailed glimpse into her inner landscapes – imagery that has been inspired by expanded states of consciousness: the realms of the imagination, meditation, shamanic journeys and the dream state.

“The visionary artist makes visible the more subtle and intuitive states ofour existence and creates maps and symbols reflecting consciousness.My work is an attempt to show spirit as the universal force which unifies us beyond the confines of cultural and religious differences. By accepting the interdependency of all life and our universal interconnectedness we have a chance to heal and transform the planet’s general state of woundedness.In using art as a tool for transformation, we have the opportunity to createa reality as beautiful, healthy and strong as our imagination permits.”

Martina Hoffmann, has exhibited her work and spoken on behalf of visionaryart and culture internationally. Together with her husband the AmericanFantastic Realist, Robert Venosa, she teaches visionary painting workshops.

Originally from Ontario, Canada, Vibrata has been living in California since 1999. As well as appearing regularly in galleries and alternative art venues in the Bay Area, Vibrata’s intermedia paintings and digital work have been shown in Los Angeles, Seattle, New York, Chicago and as far away as Turkey, Portugal and Japan.



Vibrata was given her name during a meditation in 1998. Along with the name she was shown a vision of waves of energy, undulating and expanding infinitely in all directions as a continuum. It was the triggering event for a profound change in her work, and since then she has been in perpetual dialogue with the vision through her paintings.



Her images include elements of symmetry and rhythmic patterning, geometry and the use of beguiling perceptual distortions. She is an intermedia artist, seamlessly blending computer design with traditional acrylic-on-canvas techniques.



”Profound metaphors and dynamic images are triggered within me when I read the writings of cosmologists and theoretical physicists. The idea that we are nothing more or less than an interplay of energetic potentialities is, to me, a palpable truth. This existential dance, like dancing to music, is at its heart, a tapestry of systems and order. Our brains are pattern-recognition machines, organs that have evolved to look for and interpret patterns in our perceptions. It’s how we learn and how we create meaning. This is the essential dialogue between what we believe ourselves to be and what we believe to be outside of ourselves.

I am in awe at the beauty of the intangible; inspired by the act of creating art as a work of devotion; I marvel at the ability of the artist to bring the unseen into visible form, and most unambiguously, the visceral potency of color.”



She is a seven-time veteran of the Burning Man festival, held every year in Nevada, introducing her own art installation there called “the Wind Oracle” in 2003 and contributing to the “Connexus Cathedral” and “Entheon Village” in 2006. As a lecturer and presenter, Vibrata was featured at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco for the “Mind States” conference, and at CoSM gallery in NYC in 2005. Vibrata is a member of YLEM, Artists using Science and Technology, and is a long time member of the Rhythm Society, an intentional community focused on spiritual experience through dance.

I was born in 1952. I was raised in Sacramento, California, and attended high school there, with Mel Ramos, Ken Waterstreet and Gary Pruner as art mentors and inspiration. California pop art, abstract expressionism and photorealism were all the rage, and the Haight-Ashbury hippie culture was being born. Music was in the air and there was dancing in the streets. Art was vibrant and exciting to look at.



While still at school I became interested in various Eastern philosophies, and mysticism, meditation and consciousness in general. I received a scholarship to the University of California at Davis, from where I graduated in 1973 with a degree in Art. I never looked back, and have been making a living as an artist ever since. I like to travel and experience different cultures, and enjoy relaxing when I can on a little coffee farm in Costa Rica. I am now living in out in the wilds of rural Northern California, with my companion and partner, the lovely dancer Monti. We maintain an ephemeral gallery from the Floating World, which makes its magical appearance in the summertime at festivals of music and art, and I can sometimes be found there indulging in performance painting.

I like to make art that stimulates thought and provokes an evolution in consciousness. My ideas tend to be visual and so I prefer to share my thoughts by placing them on canvas as paintings. My theory is that Art has the magical power to evoke emotional as well as intellectual thinking, which can foster changes to our world, and that if I can create something that is both fiercely truthful and compellingly beautiful at the same time, it will speak to the most people with the strongest voice. Art has the power to make and change culture, and to evolve our humanity, and knowing this, I like to create art using imaginary but realistic images to explore themes of awakening consciousness, divine sexuality, and political realities. My work is intended to bring about positive and beneficial changes to our culture, particularly in the way we relate to each other, to nature and to the divine universe.

Pablo Amaringo was born in 1943 in Puerto Libertad, in the Peruvian Amazon. He was ten years old when he first took ayahuasca–a visionary brew used in shamanism, made from the plants Banisteriopsis caapi (yagé) and Psychotria viridis (chacruna). A severe heart illness–and the magical treatment of this via ayahuasca–led Pablo toward the life of a shaman, and he eventually became a powerful curandero–learning the icaros, or healing songs, that the ayahuasca brew taught him.

In 1977, Pablo abandoned his vocation as a shaman. He became a painter and art instructor at his Usko-Ayar school, where there was no charge for the students to learn painting from Pablo. Pablo painted and described numerous of his ayahuasca visions, some of which appear in his book Ayahuasca Visions: The Religious Iconography of a Peruvian Shaman. Before he passed away, he was working on paintings of angels, as well as paintings that documented the flora and fauna of Peru.



Pablo occasionally spoke about his life as a shaman and artist, and provided art instruction, at seminars and conferences. Events where Pablo appeared included the Mind States conference in California, the Guaria de Osa Centre in Costa Rica, and the Ayahuasca Healing Retreat in Brazil. Pablo passed away on November 16, 2009, after several weeks of illness.

Painting was a gift given to Eric Nez at an early age. His parents (an artist and a Yogini, both lovers of life) ensured that he had plenty of tools to express his innermost realms. A devoted artist-mystic, Nez is both a visionary and a cultivator of the soul. Tending the garden of personal transformation… offering to the sacred self: nurturing environments, wholesome nutrients, divine light, and love in order to grow the fruit of the spirit and share it with the Universe.

The Muses of yoga, plant medicines, alchemy, and magic lay their offerings at the feet of Nez. His creative process is deeply influenced by transpersonal psychology and the spiritual sciences, as well as intergalactic experiences. The spirits of the mystics all gather around Eric’s studio to whisper in his ear and guide his hand as he paints.



The art of Eric Nez is both a stepping-stone and a chronicle of his evolution of consciousness. Explorations of distinctly different worlds, powerful life experiences, and teachings from ascended masters… all of these find a home in the work of Nez. His every painting is offered up to the universal collective as a catalyst for transformation.

Deeply influenced by the blissful, sacred experiences of life, Eric defines his work as the visual fruit of his own personal growth. He considers himself a seeker- traversing many realms, translating and sharing the discoveries of his travels through the secret and ancient language of pictures.

On the journey to a new form of expression, the so called “Quantum Realism”, young artist Dennis Konstantin Gerigk unifies the search for the inner structure of things with the phantasmagorias of the phantastic and the vivid color spectrum of today’s visionary art. Taking building blocks out of Cubism, Pointilism and Futurism, the artist is not interested in the mere copy of things, rather more he wants to show us the non-static nature of our reality.

His work is dominated by the expression of change, the metamorphosis of 3-dimensional structures into their next state of existence.

The greatest inspiration for the artist comes from the latest insights of quantum mechanics and eastern philosophy which both realize the world as vibrating field of form. Dennis Konstantin transfers this knowledge into painting by trying to “weave” objects together by layering lines of color.

Although he has a very scientific approach to painting it is also important for the artist to tell stories with this kind of expression. So the figures in his work are on a constant journey to personal freedom and a reality behind our well-worn thought structures.

Chris Dyer wants to break through all cultures and stir them up on a frying pan for delicious visual enjoyment. A former streetgang member and surfer from Lima, Peru, he now enjoys being in Montreal, Canada. A skater since a child he continues following this passion and recycles old broken skates to give that blessed wood eternal life, as soulful art from this planet and beyond. These visions have also infiltrated into the mainstream of the skate industry, reaching out to many young mind with positive influences. Addicted to traveling and explorations of all kinds he looks at our external differences and tries to find the soul that unites us all as one. All this is seen in his detailed colorful paintings. So enjoy!

“My artistic journey began when I could first hold a crayon, spending countless hours transcribing seamless visual narratives onto perforated reams of paper. As this natural gift blossomed, I was accepted into a Fine Arts academy and published as a children’s illustrator. The path to a lucrative career in illustrative design seemed paved and wide open for the taking. Yet this momentum was soon interrupted by a deep thirst for self-realization, leading me on a journey away from art and into the world of psychedelics and direct spiritual experience. After 8 years, I emerged, deeply overflowing with love for the Spirit of Creation and newfound spiritual purpose. The burning question became “How may I best share this Love in service of All?”

And the answer came ‘Look no further than your first impulse’ -that crayon in the hand of a child. And thus, my current artistic rebirth began. Deeply sourced from his own mystical experiences, Matthew’s art has often been described as ‘visual candylands’ for the mind to play in. By painting in a manner that is suggestive of form within form, Matthew seeks to illuminate the intricate patterns found within chaos, bridging the world of the personal and the transpersonal, spirit and matter, and becoming a clear vessel for the visual translation of non-ordinary states of awareness. In doing this, it is his sincere desire to assist the viewer in their awakening and the realization of the inherent potentials of their own consciousness.

“Roman has represented the harmonik vibration for over 12 linear earth years after a visionary experience. His quest is towards the eternal party at the end of time. For guidance he utilizes art to focus the all-pervading creative force (god).” A deeply influential teacher and student of the emerging art movement, Roman gives and receives inspiration from a collective of artists and visionaries along the West Coast and across the world. Roman dwells in Northern California.

Xavi is a celebrated and gifted Artist with a wealth of exposure and influence in the international Visionary Art community. His paintings glisten with atomic and energetic structure. He has been shown widely, and his impact on Students of Consciousness and Expansion is impressive.

Xavi discovered the urban style of graffiti art at the early age of 11. This awakened in him deep feelings of wonder, passion, and recognition of the unspeakable beauty and potency of God’s Creativity.

During his formative years Xavi experienced the power and expression in the techno music and art of the rave scene. Xavi was inspired by these experiences and allowed them to drive his imagery. The combination of the high energy of the dance scene and the youthful exhuberance of his Inspirations resulted in an alchemical combination that has become his recognized Visionary style.

Xavi is also deeply inspired by the tribal Native American art of North America, and the natural lines of Mother Nature.

Born to parents who farmed on the outskirts of Brisbane, Australia, Leo grew up amongst the open landscape, providing ample scope for a fertile imagination. The decade into which he was born took humanity to the moon. Soon after, the visionary spirit of Sci Fi and Fantasy pop culture tempted our imagination taking us further into other worlds. And so the vistas of other realities were open to him.

In his twenties he began to contemplate the possibilities and beauty of the present moment. He discovered that being in the moment, there was only self, and so began a deeper journey within. In 1994 he experienced a vision. Rendering this experience, in paint on canvas, began his vocation as an artist. The subtlies of mind, body, and spirit, are the motivating force behind most of his personal artwork, which serves as a documentation of his psychic explorations.

Leo is a self taught artist who has worked in many artistic fields, from video production and computer games to ceramic designs and oil paintings. He has exhibited in Sydney and Brisbane, and had artwork published nationally. His adventures have also taken him further afield, touring across Australia with local and international bands, creating swirls of light and colour with video art. Leo has worked with the likes of George, Full Fathom Five, On Inc, Salmonella Dub (NZ) and Lee Scratch Perry and the Mad Professor (UK). His psychedelic lights shows have also been the feature of a number of dance parties.

Leo kept a studio right in the thick of the action on Oxford St, Sydney after relocating there from Brisbane in 2000. From there he could look out the window onto the constant hubbub of one the most colourful ends of town. He shared the space and good times with a group of artists who had immense drive and passion. They were a great inspiration to him. Pivotal in his desires to pursue his artist visions was the discovery of a loose international community of visionary and surreal inspired artists. This brought him into contact with the Art Visionary magazine and the Society for the Art of Imagination, and many other artists.

He therefore resolved to travel to Europe where much of the focus was. Leo left for Europe in 2003 and made a studio in Berlin where he set to work produced new works inspired by his new surroundings. He also had the chance to meet with artists affiliated with the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism. In Vienna he met Fantastic Visionary artists, De Es Schwertberger, Peter Gric, Luigi La Speranza and a number of other artists who inspired him. It was here he could observe and ask these artists of the techniques of the Old Masters. Upon returning to Berlin he began to practice and explore what he had seen in Vienna. His time in Berlin was very productive and great learning experience, artistically and from life. In his time there he learnt to speak German. Through this he learnt what is like to be a foreigner, and came to love it. He met other artists who were sharing the same experience. Together they formed a small community that supported each other in their trials and tribulations, and then celebrated their successes. Some of the successes he experienced while in Berlin did not actually take place there. He had artwork toured back in Australia, published in Chile, and exhibited in London.

In 2005 Leo started building the immensely popular beinart.org website for Jon Beinart. In the following year Leo relocated to London to seek out new opportunities and experiences. In 2007 his artwork was published alongside some of the greats of Fantastic Visionary art in Jon’s book Metamorphosis. Working with Jon Beinart and being published in his book has brought Leo into contact with a truely global network of artists. Later in that year, Leo came into contact with Shoji Tanka and the International Fantastic Art Association (IFAA) in Japan. In April 2008, Leo was invited along with Luigi La Speranza to exhibit with the IFAA in Kyoto.

He has now relocated to Berlin with his studio.

Carey Thompson grew up on the east coast in Virginia and North Carolina. He then traveled throughout the western United States ending up in New Mexico where he spent a year creating a core resonance with the American southwest. Afterwards, Carey embarked on a four-year adventure throughout Central America harnessing the winds of synchronicity. Exploring countless natural power spots and Mesoamerican sacred sites, he developed a keen interest in ancient cultures and their expression through the arts and cosmology. Desiring a more rooted foundation, Carey landed in the beautiful lands of Costa Rica where he spent a few years tapping deep into the currents of Gaian creation. He currently resides in northern California where he now focuses on his artistic endeavors, which often take him traveling to different parts of the world where he shares his creations and gathers inspiration. Carey describes his work as holomorphic transmission vision crystals. The imagery channels through, sourced from the universal matrix, and crystallizes into form onto templates based on sacred geometry and other patterns of nature. Beginning usually with only a seed of intention, the color and form evolve unconsciously to create the finished art. Combining his interests in various studies including biology, geometry, architecture, ancient history, astronomy, anthropology, and mysticism, he attempts to uncover underlying similarities between them all. Revealing the interconnectedness of all things is the primary intention of Carey’s artwork. He believes the schism between our conscious selves and the greater universe underlies the entirety of our world’s problems and that art has the transformative power to heal that divide and restore planetary harmony.

Life is an adventure when you catch rainbows and chase the sun. Creation is the fuel that navigates this Self-existing Yellow Star through the cosmos. Travelling the extents of existence to capture experience and deliver unto the world an expression of imagery. Exploring the fertility of the minds’ unique bounty manifesting a feast for the eye. A journey into the imagination on a voyage of endless possibilities. Born in the Mother land, a ’79 vintage, after shoulder-pads and before reality TV, at summers end under the sign of the determined ram, this painted warrior dances in the rain and worships the moon. Gathering inspiration from the world, powered by self-motivation and the unrelenting urge to paint everything, a tye-dyed butterfly was shaped.

Continually evolving and experimenting with dimension, tweaking perspective with colour vibrancy and contrasting the surreal with balanced definition, compelling an otherworldly escapade in a harmonious environment.

A billboard sized canvas armed with a 2cm paintbrush can be transformed in a matter of days and with an airbrush can cover an engulfing stretch in ultraviolet brilliance before the sun sets. With enough paint and a bit of time – the world.

When eyes become leaden and arms beg for respite its back to dream of beautiful surroundings, dancing colours and music moving blissful bodies. The desire to infiltrate beauty into peoples’ lives started with commissioned murals while finishing with 4 distinctions at the National School of Arts in Johannesburg ’96. The next few years were spent painting restaurants, nightclubs and private homes, building a recognisable name throughout the country. By ’99 my art could be found in some of the top venues in South Africa.

At the age of 22 a series of paintings were completed for Standard Bank and a massive mural covering a government building in Jhb city centre for a BMW ad featured on TV. That year also saw the beginning of backdrops, for event companies, festivals and parties including psychedelic scenes featured and sold at the Zambian Solipse Festival. Hungry for new horizons the travel bug bit and Thailand found me decorating restaurants. One year and a million miles later in the Mojave Desert no wall was safe. In California, the famous engineer of SpaceCraftOne Burt Rutans’ home had little defence, as well as his infamous pilot and fellow South African, Mike Mevill, whose home too fell prey to the ubiquitous paint. Mexico swirled with my colour at the Sonpax festival on a beach near Cancun. Three months in Spain during the summer of 2003 produced what is reputed to be the biggest mural on the Costa del Sol, a 250m square piece of my soul at the Aztec Country Club Resort which hailed a nail-biting live interview on an English tv channel and an article in Hi Society Magazine. Soon the call of Africa summoned me home. Nesting in the mountains of Cape Town cultivated works of fine art in oils, exhibited at the renowned Kirstenbosh Gardens and various other galleries. By the end of ’05 my ultraviolet fingerprint marked all the biggest psytrance festivals in Cape Town and Johannesburg.

The following year at the Voov festival in Germany my 8m high Dragon backdrops were mounted above an audience of 8000 people. The German magazine, Mushroom Mag, featured my art on its glossy front page with a humble article inside. The year of the fruitful Pig ’07 returned me to soft sands of Thailand to orchestrate décor for the Black Moon parties and Ban Sabaii in Ban Tai on the famous island of Koh Phangan, updated on a continuous basis for travellers to revel in. The following year I was drinking Nepalese tea in the foothills of Everest on a riverside beach at the Shanti Jatra Full Moon Festival where my 3d ultraviolet Lotus stretched 6m high and 20m across joining stars and sand. A year later the winds blew me west, switching to Earl Grey I decorated Fuze, a small indoor event in London Town and showcased backdrops at the Ozora Festival in Hungary. In Early ’10 the Namaste Experience held in Lebanon exhibited my stretch artworks. Still coming up ths year I am collaborating with Extradimensional Space Agency on décor for Ozora and am exhibiting in the Boom gallery at the Boom festival in Portugal as well as displaying my psychedelic stretch at Afterboom-Utopia.

Over the past few years my art has gained international notability and it gives me great joy to share this obsession with vivid beauty in the manner it was created, to bring abundant happiness to the viewer. A nemesis to blank space my brush only rests when colour fills the world. Floating on a rainbow bubble, stirring in luminosity, filling the melting pot of life.

In the vast expansive landscapes of west Texas, Kathryn “Ka” June embarked upon her artistic journey discovering an avid interest in creative expression through various forms. After her schooling, she pursued the healing arts and worked as an energetic and massage therapist for 10 years. During this period of recognizing her gift in healing, she followed her passion to help others by learning to express beauty through visual and visceral means. Ka’s awakening led to the development of her innate talent for creating with nature’s gifts. Over many years she has honed the craft of merging animal medicines and earthen treasures into ceremonial tools, sacred costume and adornment. Wielding the brush and palette, Ka began to delve deep into her heart to channel powerful visions touching upon the hidden mysteries of life and love. Meanwhile, she developed her expressive talents in the performance arts. Ka has danced and offered her art at events and galleries internationally for the past seven years.

Kathryn June weaves her art through the multidimensional web with continuous threads of beauty and precision. As she paints visions of divine love, transformation, healing and rebirth, she also embodies these energies through dance and ceremony, bridging her prayers throughout the planes of existence and revealing universal interconnection. Dancing the angelic feathered rainbow serpent, Ka opens a portal of healing energy as an offering to every heart to receive and embrace the medicine of unconditional love. Her vision is to create a Divine reflection that gazes back into humanity, illuminating the beauty within the beholder, reminding us all of our innate ability to heal ourselves, heal each other, and heal our world.

Born in 1968 in St. Petersburg (former Leningrad). He hasn’t got any art education, but in the late 80-s has started to work with various musical bands and on different event venues as a designer (covers and illustrations for books, posters, flyers, LP covers, tattoos etc.). In the beginning of 90-s his acquaintance with Indian culture and trance music culture has changed the direction of his creative work. He has created a series paintings, part of which is displayed on this exhibition. Up to the end of 2004 he has been working on designs for different clubs, cafes, shops etc. The ingenious graphic artist who had never used an eraser or a computer, has died in the age of 36 from cancer. Now all his works are kept with his wife and close friend, and they are going to be presented as a personal exhibition.

Yvonne McGillivray is an artist, painter and designer who grew up in the wild, west Highlands of Scotland.
Her “large, luminous paintings glow with secrets” and show a deep reverence for the magic and mystery of creation and the interconnectedness of all life.
Much of her work shows the inter-relationship of humanity with the plant, animal and spirit realms. Journeys of healing and transformation, where ancient, primal magic blends with vibrant new frequencies.
Working in a very intuitive way, the images are channelled directly onto the canvas, bringing forms into manifestation of birds, serpents and spirals, magical languages and crystalline kingdoms that shapeshift across the canvas and connect us to the sacred ways of nature, spirit, truth and beauty.
Inspiration comes from dreams and visions, shamanic journeying, music and sound, from inner worlds and rich life experiences.
The creative force finds expression through many mediums, including painting and the creation of ceremonial tools and clothing.
Always finding new ways of sharing visions and inspiring others.

Andrei Olenev is a cosmic accident of fractal proportions. He uses digital music and art to create a multimedia fractal world inhabited by aliens. On the audio side of things, Andrei produces glitch/idm/dub/alienpukecorestep under the name Heyoka. Based out of San Francisco, he has had a nonstop touring schedule of festivals and clubs over the last few years. The visual aspect of “Heyoka” is intended to keep a similar aesthetic as the music to create a full multimedia experience in a dimension of it’s own. Andrei’s father, the late Victor Olenev, created the original art the went into album covers/ multimedia videos of The Heyoka project. Andrei is currently creating fractal images and videos, to keep the visual element alive in the music, as well as trying to capture the current style of his digital art into his music, to create an audio representation of fractals. Along with digital art, Andrei also cuts stencils and airbrushes similar style imagery to his digital art.
