My 3rd oilpainting on canvas; size 50x50 cm

This is my tribute to the indigenous people who live in the Amazon Rainforest of Brazil: the Kayapo indians. They still live in narrow relationship with nature which they express through they body paintings, their rituals and their daily life. They take from earth without exhausting it. The botanical knowledge of the Kayapo is highly developed on most of the plant species. The survival of these traditional populations and their knowledge depends on a concrete project for an efficient fight against illegal intrusion. Such a project doesn't exist yet due to a lack of political will and of financial means.
