Psychedelic Green Man.

This acrylic painting of the traditional figure of the Green man, is here represented with a new perspective. The Psychedelic Green Man is composed of 11 psychedelic plants. Those plants have been explored since the begining of homosapiens; some plants even since the begining of animal life itself, since animals also ingest various plants. The experimentations with those plants have most likely been a great influence on the evolution of homosapiens. I thought it was very fitting to give back to the Green Man some of his ancient and sacred psychedelic heritage.

In the Psychedelic Green Man, you can find:
Ibogaine, cannabis, opium poppie, muscaria, psilocybin mushrooms, caapi, peyote, san pedros, mandrake root, and morning glories.

"Search the hidden corners of English, French, or German Gothic churches, and you'll often find the Green Man. It's a composite of face and foliage--an image that appears in dozens of forms. Often a face of the Green Man (or Green Woman) is a mask made entirely of leaves; other times the face may be surrounded or transformed by leaves and vines.

The Green Man is often perceived as an ancient Celtic symbol. In Celtic mythology, he is a god of spring and summer. He disappears and returns year after year, century after century, enacting themes of death and resurrection, the ebb and flow of life and creativity." Read more here.
