Paintings of Sacred Visions

For over a decade, Delfina's art has been a captivating journey guided by the spirit of Ayahuasca and master plants. Her canvas is a vessel for the profound insights received during her dietas and deep studies in the Amazon Rainforest. Within her brushstrokes, you'll encounter serpents, birds, and intricate figures, each carrying layers of symbolism and spirituality.

Delfina's art is a synesthetic expression, a fusion of her visions and the melodies of the "icaros" and “saitis”, ancestral ceremonial chants that speak the language of the plants and animals. Her paintings invite you to feel the connection between the human spirit and the natural world, offering a tangible bridge to the deep and transformative world of sacred plants.

In this section you can see her acrylic on canvas paintings, the different series and their meaning, and the evolution of her art through time in a chronological order, from newer to older.

“La copa del árbol abrazó el cielo, y en su raíz, el secreto”

“The treetop embraced the sky, and in it’s root, the secret”

From Corazón de Barro, a song by Delfina.

Spirit of the Rainforest / 2018

A vibrant series from a profound immersion and years of living in the Amazon Rainforest alongside the resilient and talented Yawanawa family. As she served as a teacher of painting and art for the youth, Delfina became a student of the Yawanawa's ancient tradition of chants and melodies. This series is colored with the lush greens of the rainforest, the vibrant reds of urucum, and the deep blacks of jenipapo, the indigenous natural body paints.

Amidst the magnificent presence of the 'Samauma,' one of the world's largest trees, these visions delve into the timeless traditions of Yawanawa chants and the mesmerizing 'Shenipahu' oral stories, with ancestral symbols that appear subtly in these paintings, as well as the ‘Kênê’, sacred geometric emblems that materialize spiritual strength in visual forms.

These creations helped to fund three art workshops at the Yawanawa Sacred Village, where different painting techniques came together through the creative Yawanawa artists, birthing new art pieces and supporting the continuity of this beautiful indigenous culture.
