The god of the vine rides on the leopard; mystic scene of gatherers around the golden chalice bearer. Vermillion notes, shining yellow hues, muted neutral-toned architecture and pastel distant vista harmonize rhythmically. Libation and music cheers the embattled spirit and transcends the rubble, youths join in the spectacle. This multi figure scene reminiscent of classical antiquity, is gesturally dense and modern despite connection to ancient catharsis. Classical approach mixes with new metaphysical painting in abstract ruins.
