This painting presents a powerful narrative in which the artist connects the ancient era with the present through grapes and wine.
The red wine glass in the foreground symbolizes abundance and the pleasures of life, while the cluster of grapes hanging from above reminds us of the source of nature and production. The large amphora on the right represents how wine has been stored and transported throughout history. In the background, an ancient male figure depicted in grey tones points to the mythological and cultural significance of wine and grapes, evoking Dionysus for the viewer.
The artist combines the grandeur of the past with golden tones, the dynamism of life with the red of the wine, and the depth of mythology with the grey portrait. In this way, the work offers both a visual and intellectual journey, presenting a cohesive narrative from nature to the table, and from humanity to mythology.
