“The Witch Doctor”

Mixed Media, 4′ x 4′.

This is the piece I submitted to the “Black & White Show”.

The original title was “The Shaman” since the painting is about a Shaman performing a healing. The feather represent the disease.
When I was in the Art School in Buenos Aires years ago, I was very interested in Precolumbian Art.
We did extensive reaserch on the subject and my group’s thesis was specifically about Precolumbian Cultures of Northwest Argentina.
Sadly I don’t have my notes, so all I know now is what I can remember, but it is a very interesting subject.
