The world’s first art was a means of trying to fathom an incomprehensible universe. Drawing and painting enabled the artist and shaman to interact and influence the supernatural world of existence. Art was spiritual magic.

La Vida Cantina art series examines how our humanity inter-plays in the integration of our perceived reality with the inconceivable nature at the basis our existence — and to visualize how we draw breath and find personal and social importance in this realm intelligible and whole.
