Original paintings by Pablo Amaringo for sale
Following from the relationship Donal has established with the visionary painter, former shaman Pablo Amaringo, he is currently selling original works by Pablo. We’ve recently received some of his most recent paintings, which advance his rich and dazzling portrayal of the ayahuasca dimensions even further. We’re still waiting for the titles of some of them, but if you’re interested in seeing what is currently available, go to the gallery’s Works for Sale section.
Donal is keen to ensure that Pablo gets the best possible deal for his work, to help fund his Usko-Ayar painting school project. Pablo is in particular need of finance at the moment, so now is as good a time as ever to help this important project and own original work by one of the world’s foremost visionary artists.
