Kayapó Paintings
Kayapó paintings are made from natural pigments extracted from jenipapo ( Genipa americana), annatto and charcoal. These are drawn on natural raw cotton fabric. The lines are based on the way they paint their bodies.
As a fundamental aspect of indigenous societies, body painting is the narrative of nature elements and beings that compose and give meaning to their ways of existing in the world.
These pieces look stunning when framed, or used as decorative cloth on coffee tables, side tables and altars.

Care Instructions
Indigenous arts are made out of natural materials, and therefore require great tending and care. Please keep the pieces in a dry place and avoid long periods of sun exposure, especially for the art that contains colors in it. Remember that the stalk and fiber from plants tend to soften overtime and gain new shape as we wear them!
Enjoy your indigenous art and contact us if you have any questions!
