VALLE DEL SIBUNDOY, PUTUMAYO, COLOMBIA
Surrounded by mist and sacred landscapes, the Sibundoy Valley is known as the valley of origin, a place where nature and spirituality intertwine. Here, the Kamentsá people nurture their traditions with deep consciousness, practicing ancient medicine and preserving a language that holds the wisdom of the forest. It is a land of healers, storytellers, and artisans whose knowledge has been passed down through generations.
THEIR PEOPLE AND THEIR ART
The Kamentsá artisans are guardians of stories told through color and form. With patience and devotion, they weave intricate bead patterns that mirror the symbols of their visions and rituals. Each piece carries a fragment of their identity — a reflection of their connection to nature, their ancestors, and the cosmos. In every thread lies a prayer, and in every bead, a universe.
THE INSPIRATION BEHIND SOLZ
Solz finds its spirit in the ancestral vision of the Sibundoy Valley — in the story of Yuba, the first shaman who received the gift of yagé from the great serpent. From that sacred encounter emerged a path of healing and understanding that still guides the community today. Our pieces echo that legacy: their patterns evoke the serpent’s hypnotic movement, the psychedelic visions of medicine, and the infinite dialogue between human and nature. Through design, we honor that wisdom — a reminder that beauty, like consciousness, is ever transforming.
