Conflict and Fusion of Apollonian and Dionysian Events

This painting is part of the works that deal with the fate of the human beings whose life is subject to the alternation of Apollonian and Dionysian events: where Dionysiac isn't the thrill of the senses but the pathos of the great Greek tragedies. The painting recounts that a sudden Dionysian event snatches to a young family its youth and its happiness, sucking into a vortex of fire all that it had enclosed in the coffer of his heart: hopes, plans and dreams. To collect the fragments of this ruin remains a maternal figure petrified by pain, like the legendary Niobe, who will continue to watch over the tender affections remained.
