Abstract
Amazonian shamanic painting is a hybrid art born from the coming together of Western figurative techniques, indigenous body painting and visionary shamanic experiences. It is a testimonial art by which painters express their visionary experiences to a foreign public aiming to understand the Amazonian universe. In his watercolors and drawings, the Asháninka healer Noé Silva Morales bears witness to his life as a sheripiare through the construction of visionary spaces carefully painted with skins of luminous designs.
