Otto Placht
Appearance
Otto Placht (born 1962) is a Czech artist based in Peru.[1][2]
Placht paints on mesquite wood which has been previously colored using the pigment from bark, vines and fruit from the neighboring plants.
Placht is featured in a documentary Painter of the Jungle. It documents Placht's life in Peru: his family life in the Indian village; the tradition of creating Indian ceramics; the ritual of preparing and drinking "iahuaska"; his attempt of finding his place and creating the art therapy center in Peru.[citation needed]
