They ate the enchanted star fruit and transformed into many clans, animals, and plants

Artist Brus Rubio is of Murui and Bora descent from the community of Pucaurquillo, in the Ampiyacu river basin, Loreto in the Peruvian Amazon. He shares with us the story behind his painted mural "Amazonian Journey" featured at our Xapiri Ground gallery in San Blas. His art plays upon a magical realism that is in constant dialogue between both of his ancestral lineages; a family environment that acts as his backdrop for a traditional and cosmopolitan worldview where his art can ‘transcend in time’ the vision of his ancestors.
