Shamanic Drawings

Following a lengthy and rich experience with Amazonian shamanism, the artist offers us an intimate and universal vision of isolation and connection with nature. In this particular context, the drawings predominantly evoke worlds populated by plants and spirits.

Today, especially in the West, many claim to be shamans without real training. Here, Teddy underwent genuine shamanic initiation—the traditional learning of Shipibo-Conibo plant medicine, which included two years of isolation on a plant diet, alone in the Amazon rainforest. In this series, he invites us to delve into his training and explore the personal and universal realms of master plants that heal and teach. It is a connection to the worlds of spirits and their subtle planes.
