ABOUT US

Who I Am

My name is Rolf Friberg. I am the founder, owner, and curator of Anturion Gallery, an independent gallery based in Zurich. It is fully dedicated to contemporary Amazonian art and the works of Indigenous artists from the Amazon region.

I spent many years living and working in the Amazon — a time marked by profound encounters and lasting friendships.

Amazonian art reveals a deep connection, profound respect, and spiritual relationship with the natural world. This worldview has profoundly shaped me and continues to inspire me today.

A Transformative Journey

Indigenous Amazonian art conveys these cultures’ wisdom and spiritual depth, making their cosmovision accessible to the contemporary world.

Its unique visual language, rich symbolism, and profound cultural significance make it both captivating and deeply moving.

The works presented here are the living, authentic voice of Amazonian culture — full of meaning, history, and spirituality — and an essential part of the region’s cultural identity.

Art is Life is Art

Through exhibitions, talks, social media, educational programs, and videos, I share my experiences and insights from this fascinating world.

The artworks speak for themselves — but understanding their cultural origins, which I strive to convey, opens a deeper path to their meaning.

Amazonian art vividly reminds us how deeply we are connected to nature and how essential it is to treat it with care.

Bringing this art to a broader audience and fostering appreciation for its value fills me with great joy.

Identity and Cosmovision

Amazonian art is a tool for preserving indigenous identity. It shows us the beauty of nature, the power of spirituality, and the wisdom of indigenous traditions. It reveals wonderful insights into an amazing, mysterious universe full of spirituality, magic, and mystical experiences.

More than Words and Images

We believe art has the power to inspire us and make a difference. It conveys a profound message that fosters understanding among various cultures and advocates for a more sustainable, just world. This is why we support the protection of indigenous populations, the preservation of their cultures, and the safeguarding of the Amazon rainforest.

20% of the proceeds from the sale of Amazonian art contribute to protecting the Amazon Rainforest.

Destroying Rainforest for economic gain is like burning a Renaissance painting to cook a meal

The Time to Act is Now

It is more important than ever to raise awareness and draw attention to the ongoing destruction of nature and the annihilation of Indigenous cultures who depend on the forest for survival.
