Pablo Amaringo
Pablo Amaringo ayahuasca Painter (1938-2009) was a Peruvian artist that painted his visions with ayahuasca. He was born in extreme poverty and could not access artistic education. However, this did not prevent him from painting and becoming one of the first artists to give tangible images and aesthetics to ayahuasca visions.
Pablo Amaringo was respected in his community as he could illustrate ayahuasca visions that others would find hard to explain. In this sense, he gave a valuable repertoire of collective images to the community. His images are relevant for ayahuasca users as they can identify their visions and understand their symbolism. Amaringo became renowned for his paintings and founded an art school in Pucallpa, Peru, where he delivered free art classes to children. He was a shaman, a healer and a remarkable artist.
