Canvas Shipibo Art – Metax Kené – Icaro of the medicine trees

Description

Design meaning
This canvas features the Shipibo pattern Metax Kené, created from an Icaro that honors the trees used in traditional medicine. The design reflects a deep relationship between the human world and the plant world. The two central trees in this pattern are not symbolic, they are real trees known by the Shipibo for their healing properties. This piece is a quiet record of that relationship, expressing the respect and knowledge passed down through ceremonial songs and family memory.
