Ariadne and Dionysus Several of the paintings from this period reflect Ariane’s interest in myths and archetypes. Ariadne and Dionysus is divided into two parts that are in the golden ratio. On the left side there is a woman, very white with purple lips, which looks like Ariane—her black eyes staring into the distance with a serious and concentrated expression. She wears a transparent dress. Behind her is a figure, maybe Dionysus, taller than her, he rests his hand on her shoulder. On the right side there are purple, turquoise and gray waves behind the figure which appear as a cloak of feathers. Above are two green pines and mountains. According to Greek mythology, Dyonisus fell in love with Ariadne. Pastel and pencil on paper. 15'5" x 17'3" (44.5 x 39 cm).
