Description:

“There is no future without memory. And no prophecy without silence.”

She doesn’t look at you — she looks through you.
The Delphic Sybil doesn’t speak loudly, because she knows time doesn’t listen to noise — only to truth.

Her face is young, but her soul is ancient.
In every line of her gaze, she carries the weight of secrets that predate humankind. Her parted lips seem on the verge of revelation — not out of hesitation, but out of patience. She waits until you're ready to hear what you already know but refuse to admit.

The Sybil doesn’t ask. She reveals.
She does not charm — she warns.
She is the voice of the unseen. The shadow of what is yet to come.

The pointillism and hatching are not mere style — they are echoes of time, layered upon layer, like human history itself.
What you see is not just a portrait: it is a mirror of your unrest, your hunger for meaning, your thirst for something greater than now.

And as you contemplate, perhaps you’ll realize:
the oracle was never in Delphi —
it was always within you.
