Vivid color distinguishes this bold painting by Chimini Bague. Working in acrylics, he depicts an ancestral chief from Brazil's Amazon tribes. The master medicine man wears a headdress of bright feathers and multiple necklaces in this intriguing work. 'With this portrait, I want to pay tribute to all the native chieftains of the world — to their wisdom, kindness and love,' the artist explains.

Titled 'Chaman papaver' in Portuguese.
