the Peruvian Amazon. Today he paints the visions he remembers from
his shamanic practice and teachers young people to paint as
director of the USKO-AYAR Amazonian School of Painting in Pucallpa,
an art school he cofounded with Luis Eduardo Luna in 1988, where
local youth are educated in the care and preservation of the Amazon
ecosystem.
Luis Eduardo Luna was born and raised in the Colombian Amazon
region. He earned his Ph.D. from the Institute of Comparative
Religion of Stockholm University. He is a Guggenheim Fellow and
Fellow of the Linnaean Society of London. The author of
Vegetalismo: Shamanism among the Mestizo Population of the Peruvian
Amazon, he has been a Senior Lecturer in Spanish at the Swedish
School of Economics in Helsinki since 1979 and since 1986 an
Associate of the Botanical Museum of Harvard University.
