Shaman With Spirit Self 1995

"Shaman With Spirit Self" (1995) by Norval Morrisseau, a prominent Indigenous Canadian artist, depicts a stylized figure in profile. The bright colours and bold outlines characteristic of his "Woodland" style create a vibrant and symbolic scene. The shaman's spirit self is depicted as a second face overlapping the figure, with birds perched on the head representing the spiritual connection. The work reflects the artist's deep connection to Anishinaabe culture and mythology.
