Pablo Amaringo's ayahuasca painting



Pablo Amaringo is an acclaimed Peruvian artist, renowned for his intricate, colourful depictions of his visions from drinking the entheogenic plant brew, ayahuasca. He was first brought to the West's attention by Dennis McKenna and Luis Eduardo Luna, who met Pablo in Pucallpa while travelling during work on an ethnobotanical project. Pablo worked as a vegetalista, a shaman in the mestizo tradition of healing, for many years; currently he paints, helps run the Usko-Ayar school of painting, and supervises ayahuasca retreats.
