Bacchus Bowie
As the title implies, "Bacchus Bowie" is a digital painting depicting the singer David Bowie as the Roman god Bacchus, who is more commonly known by his Greek counterpart Dionysus. Dionysus is revered as the god of wine, as well as the arts, duality, and ritualistic madness. Originally created as a birthday present for a dear friend, this piece aims to visually represent the embrace of one's identity and inner power, self-confidence, and the challenging of boundaries in gender expression. It accomplishes this by merging two figures known for honoring and embodying nonconformity and beauty within chaos.
