Large Gicleé of "Sachamama’s Ayahuasca Medicines,” an Original Painting by Timothy White, Shamanic Art, shops Psychedelic Art,
Limited-edition 20” x 24” giclée, signed and numbered of shops “Sachamama's Marvelous Medicines” an original painting by Timothy White (2017).
During an ayahuasca journey, I had a vision of Sachamama, an indigenous rainforest spirit, as a joyful woman emerging from the roots of a towering Lapuna tree. I saw Sachamama, whose name means “Forest Mama,” as a vibrant Yanomami mother who was nursing a small child and holding another slightly older girl on her lap.
In appreciation of Sachamama's marvelous medicines, I surrounded her with botanical portraits of her transformative vision-inducing plants: including a chacruna bush (far left, near the Shipibo woman picking its leaves) and a chagrapanga plant (on right, behind another Shipibo woman serving the tonic brew). Behind the three women are three types of sacred vines: the ever-popular cielo huasca (heavenly vine) wrapped around the center tree; the knob-jointed cascabel or kapuri huasca rising on the left; and the rare but extra potent trueno huasca (thunder vine) climbing on the right.
In celebration of the rainforest's rich fecundity, I show Sachamama surrounded by a variety of colorful rainforest birds—toucans, macaws, hornbills, and small song birds—as well as several of my favorite rainforest predators: a stealthy ocelot (mid-left), a powerful Harpy eagle (center), and a golden tree boa (mid-right).
Printed on 20” X 24” museum-quality acid-free matte paper, this Art Print has an inch wide white border for easy mounting and framing. Signed and numbered by me on the front and back.
