Breathing Life

Original acrylic and oil painting on gesso board, 30cm x 40cm

This painting was inspired by myths of Amazonian shamanic leopards, and a visit to the Lascaux caves with their ancient paintings in France. The two came together in my mind to form this semi-divine leopard breating all forms of life into the world, from Lascaux inspired horses and bulls, to humans, the crab, octopus, bird and squid. There’s even a winged snake in there (in Amazonian ayahuasca art, all the snakes have wings).
