About XHIVA
Visionary Artist · Ritual Guide · Cultural Creator
My path began in childhood, shaped by an innate sensitivity to energy, dreams, symbols and the subtle architecture of the invisible.
At seventeen, I consciously stepped into a lifelong journey where art, ritual and healing converge — walking between ancestral traditions from my homeland, the fusion on Andean-Amazonic wisdom and contemporary creation.
Today, I weave art, rituals and embodied presence into transformative experiences. Every painting, session and experience is a portal: a space for clarity, emotional release, nervous system regulation and reconnection with the inner medicine. My path began in childhood, shaped by an unusual sensitivity to energy, dreams and the invisible layers of reality.
I perceived the world symbolically — through intuition, emotion and subtle vision — long before I had the language to describe it.
Art became my first ritual.
Spirit, my guide…
INITIATION
The Turning Point at Seventeen
We believe that art, ritual and movement are fundamental forces for personal and collective evolution.
At seventeen, two initiatory currents opened the path that still guides my life:
a plant medicine initiation
the beginning of my formal Fine Arts studies
Through this convergence, I understood that art and healing were never separate — they were two movements of the same river, revealing and transforming the inner landscape of the soul.
This was the moment I consciously committed to a lifelong journey uniting creativity, ritual, vision and deep inner work.
ARTISTIC LINEAGE
ERNST FUCHS & VISIONARY ROOTS
My artistic formation began in La Paz, Bolivia, in 1996.
In 1998, I continued my studies at the École Supérieure d'Arts Plastiques in Monaco. There, I met Ernst Fuchs, founder of the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism.
I became his apprentice, working in his atelier in Monaco and at the Apocalypse Chapel in Klagenfurt.
His mentorship was a turning point:
He validated the visionary dimension I carried since childhood
He anchored discipline, lineage, and symbolic precision
He helped shape the voice that manifests through my paintings today
THE RITUAL PATH
Ceremony, Body & Prayer
Parallel to my artistic development, I walked a deep ceremonial path. For years, I learned within:
temazcal / sweat lodge circles
plant medicine ceremonies
women’s circles
healing rituals
Vision Quest
Sun Dance
Before guiding any ceremony, I spent four years tending the fire —
learning discipline, presence and the responsibility of holding a ritual safely.
There were no shortcuts. Only devotion, learning and respect.
Since 2009 — Guiding Temazcal & Healing Circles
After years of preparation and initiatory experiences, I began guiding temazcal ceremonies in 2009.
Since then, I have held ceremony for hundreds of people in Peru, Bolivia and here in Switzerland since my arrival in 2016, offering my work in other public contexts I was invited, supporting purification, emotional release and symbolic rebirth.
(Sweatlodge at Pachamama Festival (2016-17) — Workshops at Soul n Spirit Festival (2021-22), Cleansing at Drum & Dance, Shamanic Journey at Heal Play Love)
Through fire, heat, breath, song and silence, I learned the art of holding space for transformation with clarity and compassion.
SUPPORT
Ceremonial Support & Integration
My ritual work deepened during the time I was part of ceremonial conseil and in my five years I lived in Peru, I dedicated my service supporting:
•ayahuasca ceremonies
•huachuma ceremonies
•emotional and somatic integration
•energetic clearing and despachos o mesas
•temazcal as complementary medicine
•individual crystal healing sessions
This period refined my understanding of trauma, embodiment and the complexity of spiritual initiation.
It is where I learned that insight is nothing without integration, and the body must be part of the healing.
Re Evolution Art — Bridging Cultures Through Art
I am the founder of Re Evolution Art, a cultural platform based in Switzerland and rooted in Bolivia.
Through exhibitions, TRIBAL gatherings, immersive experiences and collaborative programs, we bridge ancestral wisdom with contemporary expression — making culture a living medicine.
