DIONYSUS
2022, Oil on Canvas, 12 x 9 in. (30.4 x 22.8 cm.)
Dionysus, ancient Greek god of fertility, wine and pleasure, is portrayed as a bearded man with squinting eyes and a mocking grin. This god radiates happiness, delight and joy with a rainbow of intense colors that illuminate his playful attitude. Superimposed on top of a distinct black underlayer, the harmoniously blended chroma are a vibrant representation of glowing, uninhibited enthusiasm for life. Head tilted, he boldly looks directly at the viewer . . . challenging.
