Press release
In “Viaje de abundancia”, Brus Rubio Churay (Pucaurquillo, Loreto, 1983) is inspired by the Fiesta de la palmera Pijuayo, celebrated by the Bora people where the artist belongs. Brus grew up and currently lives on the banks of the Ampiyacu River, near the mouth of the Amazon; perhaps it is also because of its waters that the guests at the festival sail on gigantic tobacco leaves, the sacred plant, or on large trunks from which different palm trees sprout. The characters share their animal essence with the condition of a person, a way of perceiving the world typical of Amerindian indigenous cultures. It is almost a magical journey, which the painter imagines “full of many universes; of songs and sounds of all the beings of nature”. A concert that celebrates life.
