24. Genuine Shipibo Painting

Reshin Bima (Layner Mori Huayta) is an artist of the Shipibo-Konibo indigenous tribe of Peru. His paintings depict Amazonian landscapes and shamanic visions that are inspired by rituals performed with the use of certain plant medicines (known in Shipibo as rao), in particular ayahuasca, traditional to the Shipibo-Konibo culture. Through these spiritual practices, Reshin Bima explores the cosmos and his unique ancestral inheritance, enhancing the visionary journey of his work.

Reshin Bima was born in 1981 in the Native Community of Santa Clara, located along Lake Yarinacocha in the Ucayali region.  He currently lives in California where he continues to create art and promote the preservation of his cultural traditions.
