This work represents a sibyl in a trance state. It is another one of those cases in which History has put women aside for the mere fact of being women and that I think it is worth remembering. In Greek and Roman cultures, the sibyls were women prophets with the power to unravel the future to prophesy events of all kinds, who had long, isolated and mysterious lives, living in atypical and inaccessible places. MicheAngelo has already represented them in the Sistine Chapel. His words and predictions were usually produced in a trance state. They had an important role as prophets although throughout history their texts have been relegated to the background, considering them as apocryphal, despite having a lot of relationship with biblical passages, mainly in relation to the New Testament, and being in a beginning an important support for the faith by the first Christians in Roman times. The Judeo-Christian patriarchal system mainly focused on the work of male prophets, excluding practically all of the work developed by these prophets.

Spain
Carlos Ferg (1977) is a Spanish artist who has lived for ten years in Manchester (United Kingdom), where he established his studio and from where he began his artistic career. Currently he has moved his studio to Valencia, Spain. After residing in various cities in Spain for part of his childhood and adolescence, he graduated in Art History (Spain, 2001). Later, he moved to Madrid, without pursuing an artistic career, and although he always liked drawing, he wanted to take painting classes, a step beyond the simple application of drawing on paper. While working in different fields away from the creative environment, he maintained the habit of visiting museums, something that maintained his connection with the artistic environment. After ten years living in Madrid, and due to personal circumstances, he began a process of learning pictorial techniques on his own, researching and developing his own style, first through the medium considered essential throughout history, the oil technique. During this stage he became very interested in the work of Velázquez and, fundamentally, in Sorolla's study of volume and light. At that time, he had the opportunity to move to the United Kingdom and the opportunity to explore and learn new mixed media such as pastel, acrylic, watercolor, etc., in addition to receiving new artistic and pictorial influences especially from British artists of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It is in 2015, when he decides to develop a more solid project that will lead him to configure his own work, promoting his personal style in terms of technique and content. He is currently developing a figurative project, based on an update of the works of Symbolism, a movement that had its greatest impact at the end of the 19th century and that was intrinsically linked to the literary movement developed in Paris, as its epicenter and that was spreading. to the rest of Europe and influencing the other arts in a notorious way. Hence, writers such as Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Mallarmé, Verlaine, Poe, etc. stand out, who formed the nucleus of the group that would become known as The Damned poets.
