'''Visionary art''' may also define art which "seeks to relate a specific vision which exists outside the scope of scientific reality." - Zariat, Zoetic Art

"Where Surrealists tried to elevate the dream-state into a higher reality (and opposed the use of narcotics) the Visionary artist uses all means at his disposal - even at great risk to himself - to access different states of consciousness and expose the resulting vision. Art of the Visionary attempts to show what lies beyond the boundary of our sight.
