Selva

In 2014 I did my very first trip to the Peruvian Amazonian forest to investigate about their traditional medicine based on Ayahuasca. I followed on during 5 years each time going deeper into my consciousness. During one of the ceremonies I found myself, in visions, in front of a big gate. It suddenly opened up and a voice told me : You are ready now, you can come in. As I started stepping into a very dense jungle plants would approach me, “stare” at me for a few seconds and disappear back into the dense vegetation.

I never took notes or made any drawing of my visions before, but this one was so intense that I decided to draw what I could remember. This is how this series of artwork started.
