For more than four decades, I have dedicated myself to the discovery and preservation of tribal art with a focus on shamanic traditions of healing and divination. My collection spans cultures and regions where art serves not only as expression, but as a bridge between the material and the spiritual. Each piece embodies ritual, protection, and transformation – testaments to humanity’s enduring search for connection with the unseen. This lifelong journey has been guided by respect for the artists, the communities they come from, and the sacred knowledge their works convey. The collection continues to evolve as a living archive of spiritual craftsmanship and human belief.
