A self-help journey
I've created these paintings after reading Alberto Villoldo's book 'The heart of the shaman'. The paintings are a reflection of my own journey with the four spirit animals and how I was able to connect with them during a time of personal reflection and exploration of my own feelings towards my life circumstances.
The Serpent
The serpent teaches to shed the past like shedding its skin and practice beauty through the rebirth of a new outlook. Return to the feminine and feel the fire burning from within.
The Jaguar
The journey of the jaguar leads into the depth of the forest, teaching the way of the jungle, death and life, showing the way to the spirit world and of becoming fearless. The jaguar knows the ways beyond death and into infinity.
The Hummingbird
He brings the wisdom while drinking from the sweet nectar. The hummingbird's teaching is to embark on the great journey, despite not being built for an extraordinarily dangerous and arduous flight. Receive the gift of courage, of biting off more than can be chewed, of taking on extraordinary challenges.
The Eagle
He brings the gift of spreading wings and seeing life from 10,000 feet up with clarity and precision. The eagle's teaching is to put the cart way before the horse, to look at the possibilities before looking at the probabilities and to understand the reasons why something cannot work out.
