Artist Elvis Luna

[Ask-Seek-Knock]

I came across a painting by Elvis Luna in a local Native American art gallery and thought you all would be interested to read about him and observe his art. Here is a link to the piece that struck me while I was walking around the gallery, titled "Ayahuasca & Chacruna & The Origins of the Visions". http://www.redcloudindianarts.com/e-luna12.htm
The piece is quite amazing to see in person. The details are extraordinary! I couldn't take my eyes off of it!

Here is a link to his website if you are interested - http://www.muntun.com/profile.html.

Enjoy!

Not my preference in art style, but a little bit interesting - no offense intended, just offering my view here primarily because the 'Ayahuasca' aspect of the title doesn't bode well since that is a psychedelic drug, seriously bad idea to mess around with such things.

Had no idea that was a psychedelic drug.

Pulled this from his profile. When Luna was seven, he was sent to live in the jungle with his uncle - a well known curandero or medicine man. For the next eight years, he would endure the rigors of an apprenticeship into shamanism. It was then that he was introduced to the traditional belief system of the Amazonian spirit world that describes an energetic substrate just beneath the visible world. Luna explains that most Peruvians and foreigners are not prepared to understand or to make contact with the plant and animal spirit world. "They look at the jungle and ask what they can get from it. The shaman sees the plants, as they really are - energetic beings with the same spirit and intelligence that we have.

Must be something they use for the shaman apprenticeship.
