Original artwork description:

The work recreates a "prayer" inspired by the Alicante macro-schematic art that we can find on the walls of the sanctuary of Petracos (Alicante).

The figure is shown on different planes with Nature motifs and one of the layers of the body has a binary code pattern.

The shaman represents the human instinct to evolve, to improve, to dominate the environment to improve as a species.

On the one hand animals, on the other hand spiritual beings and at the same time technologists.

The tremendous technological advance that Agriculture brought about in Petracos times is similar to the current technological advances that present us with radical changes in our way of life.

Macroschematic art is only found in the northern area of the province of Alicante, it was created by the first Neolithic groups that arrived in these lands in the middle of the 6th millennium BC, coming from the Near East. Through the Mediterranean, these groups sailed in canoes, always close to the coast, carrying with them wheat and barley seeds, sheep and goats.

The chosen places are rock shelters, well visible and illuminated by the sun. These areas were not habitats but "sanctuaries" to which the surrounding populations went for religious celebrations, rites of passage, alliances...
