We are flourishing
In the hands of strong and wise men and women, plants, soul beings like us, give life to transmit to us their anti-inflammatory, relaxing, immunizing, hemostatic, digestive, healing, hallucinating properties. But this delivery also includes the spirit, not just its stems and leaves.
Pre-Columbian societies created what we today call traditional medicine, known throughout Latin America but which has its origins in Mexico and Peru. To this day their descendants are healers or shamans to whom we turn in case of minor and major illnesses. In the healer's worldview, the human body can be influenced by spirits, gods or hidden forces. When an alteration occurs between these spirits and the human being, illness appears.
Ancient botanical art is a powerful motivation for Kylla Piqueras, that fusion between scientific concern and the artistic contemplative act moves her and moves her to create, captivated by the remedies that plants hide, perfectly designed by the creative forces to fulfill their mission. and restore the harmonious dialogue between the body and its health. Without asking for anything in return.
Remedies that he learned to use during a long stay among the immense snow-capped mountains of the Peruvian Andes and in deep dives in the Amazon forest, hand in hand with the ayahuasca vine, rope of death, sacred cable towards a higher and pure consciousness. Chalices of light seen in ceremony with the mother/grandmother of all plants, messenger of medicine. Believe to drink, drink to see, see to heal. Reverberations of litmus light, inexhaustible source of life. Conductors who transport the energy of love of the earth, mamaycuna who shows the way and opens consciousness. And life continues to shine.
Art, like plants, brings you closer to your natural being, invites you to shine with your own light.
That was the focus point. Pay tribute to those plants, messengers of light. Honor nature, devising a herbarium with properties as unknown as they are particular. Connect with the heartbeat of the earth. Celebrate life with a collection of botanical drawings in ink and paper that evoke 17th-century herbal studies, cabinets of natural treasures. Rescue them with the pointillism technique, in black and white, as a meditative and minimalist exercise. Abstract them: appeal to the contrast of lights and shadows, and understand that one does not exist without the other.
It's time to wake up.
