Dionysus Sailing with Dolphins

Dionysus Sailing with Dolphins
Silk painting
 
It's hard to love the sea and not love mythology. 
This silk watercolor painting, ‘Dionysus & Dolphins,’ is my take on ancient Greek mythology. Inspired by Minoan frescoes and ceramic art, it depicts Dionysus — the God of Wine — sailing with playful dolphins in a vibrant turquoise sea as the mast sprouts into grape vines.
      The story: According to myth, Dionysus transformed greedy sailors into dolphins after they tried to sell him into slavery. These dolphins, now symbols of good luck and kinship, guided ships and rescued sailors in distress.

Hand-painted using the Serti technique on silk, this piece captures the whimsy and magic of the sea. The original painting measures 26”x20” 

Whether you’re a lover of mythology, coastal decor, or simply dream of the ocean, ‘Dionysus & Dolphins’ brings a touch of ancient storytelling and vibrant color to your space.
