Title: Amantes, Size: 16 x 16 Inches
I explore shamanism through these paintings, portraying spiritual faces connected by rhythmic lines and vibrant colours. The closed eyes suggest trance and inner vision, while the repeated faces represent ancestral spirits, collective consciousness, and the connection between different realms. The flowing patterns symbolise spiritual energy moving between worlds. Through contrasting colours and bold outlines, I express the shaman’s journey of transformation, healing, and communication with the unseen, exploring the relationship between human consciousness, nature, and the spiritual world.
