A Toast to Time

Acrylic on Canvas

36″ x 36″

Part of Battifora’s Bacchus series, with themes of indulgence and pursue of pleasure, this painting juxtaposes innocence with mortality, inviting viewers to reflect on the dualities of life—youth and age, pleasure and inevitability. A youthful Marie Antoinette in opulent attire has been invited to our party, a semi nude bacchus God of festivity, and the contrasting presence of the skeleton serve as a reminder that all indulgence ultimately leads to the same fate, challenging us to consider how we navigate our desires in the face of life’s transience.

The naked people dancing in the back–are they performing, or are they being themselves? Either way, they represent the freedom of choice: the choice is yours.
