Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe
Born 1971 in Sheroana, Amazonas, VE – lives and works in the Yanomami community of Platanal, VE, and in Caracas, VE
Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe uses vegetable ink and handmade paper to trace the stories, myths, and everyday life of his people. He relies on the memories of his mother and relatives to explore the nature of spiritual beliefs and the cultural and social practices of his Yanomami community, the Pori Pori. The artist, a skilled arrow maker and hammock weaver, has expanded Yanomami body painting to the non-traditional medium of paper. “We paint ourselves when there is a celebration, to show that we are happy and to hear the shaman’s song clearly when he calls us.” A graphic compendium of straight, parallel, curved, and dotted lines, arcs, circles, triangles, grids, webs, and rings evokes the insects, animals, and spirits of the Upper Orinoco—as with the red caterpillar, which is called upon in the present drawing.
