Biography

Austin Maleik Collings is the founder of AMC Publishers and the creator of the Physi-Tual genre, which he trademarked in 2021 to describe works — books and visual art — that explore where the physical and spiritual worlds overlap. He is the author of two foundational Physi-Tual books and the artist behind all nine works in the founding Physi-Tual visual catalogue.

His writing draws on metaphysical traditions, supernatural accounts, consciousness research, and first-hand experience to argue a single position: the physical and the spiritual are not separate realms but two views of the same world. The Physi-Tual genre is the literary and visual category he built around that position. Insights to the Spiritual World & Interactions with the Physical (2022) presents the framework directly. The Spiritual Capture: The Worlds Combine (2023) presents it through fiction.

His visual catalogue is produced in pen and ink, with one mixed-media exception. The work is distributed worldwide through Fine Art America on canvas, framed prints, tapestries, yoga mats, and other formats. The Opalescent Piece and The Illucid Piece in particular are designed as functional meditation tools — focusing images for practice, not decoration.

Through AMC Publishers — Physi-Tual Genre Capital Global Group Ltd. — Collings publishes other authors writing in the Physi-Tual genre and in adjacent spiritual and metaphysical territory. The press is independent, Canadian, and distributes globally through partner networks reaching 45,000+ retailers.
