The Trance of the Shaman is a painting that portrays the mystical state of consciousness of a shaman who can communicate with the spirit world. The artist uses a palette of gold and black to create a contrast of light and darkness. The gold represents the shaman’s soul, the source of his power and wisdom. The black represents the unknown realm, the mystery and danger of his journey. The painting shows a circular shape in the center, symbolizing the shaman’s eye, the portal to his vision. The painting suggests that the shaman can absorb the energy and information from the spirit world through his eye, and use it to heal and guide his people.
