About XHIVA

XHIVA, Ximena Quinteros, is a visionary artist, ritualist, and healer whose work bridges ancestral wisdom with contemporary expression. Born in the Bolivia and based in Switzerland, her creations are a portal between worlds—where sacred art becomes medicine, and personal transformation meets universal symbolism.

Her path is rooted in a deep, lived experience of shamanic traditions from the Andes and Amazon, fused with 25 years of artistic exploration across painting, music, movement, and ceremonial performance. Through her art, XHIVA invites the soul to awaken, reconnect, and remember its original power.

Each piece is more than visual—it is a living ritual, channeled through trance states, dreams, and communion with the invisible. Her symbols, colors, and patterns speak a silent language of healing and spiritual initiation.

Beyond the canvas, she is the founder of Re Evolution Art, with nthe main events : TRIBAL Nights, TRIBAL experience, and the First VISIONARY Art exhibition in Zürich, immersive events that blend music, visionary art, and embodied ritual. These gatherings are portals of collective transformation, giving voice to a global community seeking truth, beauty, and reconnection.

XHIVA’s story is one of resilience and rebirth. After a life-altering spinal diagnosis and migration journey, she transmuted pain into creation, embodying the role of the wounded healer and cultural alchemist.

Today, her work resonates with those who walk the path of the soul, the artists of consciousness, and the seekers of a new world. XHIVA is not just an artist—she is a bridge, a vessel, and a guide for inner revolution through sacred art.
