Don Pablo Amaringo (1938 – 2009), one of the most significant artists of our age, shaman of the highest order, and teacher to many, died November 16th.
The world of art has lost a truly original visionary – a seer in all senses of the word. I think we all join together in wishing him a safe passage to the other side of the river…
-Laurence Caruana
Many blessings, thoughts and love to those who knew him personally. His art will continue to inspire wonder in many generations to come.
Pablo Amaringo is curator in chief of a Museum of the Marvelous, a gallery situated in a parallel dimension where the demons and spirits, plant-teachers and sprites of the shamanic world accessed through ayahuasca are all too real… Pablo’s eidetic memory, his recall of his extensive journeys in alternate realities, combine with his artistic skills to create a visual record of an invisible landscape that few others will ever explore. His reputation as the master artist of shamanic worlds is honestly come by, and well-deserved.

If you are in LA, Make sure to visit 99 High Collective in Venice to see Pablo’s first North American exhibition, hung just before his passing. The show is transcendent, he was way ahead of his own vessel.
