Um. I have ingested salvia numerous times, and am a professional painter. While I can see that this is a great depiction of what one sees while on salvia, I do not believe that it was created during a trip. The trip is so short, you wouldn’t have time to do a painting of this detail in one trip, and if you are truly tripping on salvia, you can’t see or move enough to make a fine piece of art like this until you have come most of the way down.
Great art, yes. Done under the influence, I really doubt it.
Peace.
