About the Item
In this Monumental painting, Natasha Lelenco explores the mythological characters of the Bacchantes through a contemporary and uninhibited interpretation of Tiziano's Bacchanal of the Andrians. The artwork, with a feminist approach, depicts an indoor scene where a group of women is portrayed as if it were a battlefield in the moments following a banquet, with ideas such as empowerment, personal autonomy, mutual support and sisterhood, floating around.
Crafted with acrylic on board and glued canvas, lending it a certain collage-like dimension, the artwork seamlessly blends elements of the artist's distinctive figuration with intentionally outlined or incomplete flat figures, particularly evident in the portrayal of still-life elements on the table. Set against a backdrop of a domestic scene, the painting depicts a gathering of women, some nude, in a post-alcohol ambiance at the table of a grand banquet, with a floral motif reminiscent of patterns found in Eastern European carpets and tapestries.
The piece delves into the theme of descents into hell, connecting with the enduring presence of the Dionysian as a recurring motif in art history—an element inherent to both the human experience and the arts themselves. This interpretation offers a feminist perspective on a mythological theme, providing a nuanced exploration of the subject matter.
The artwork is crafted on 4 detachable panels, which allows it to be shipped in a compactly sized box despite its large format. Upon arrival, it must be assembled using the provided assembly and hanging guide and hardware. Feel free to contact us if you would like us to assess the installation ourselves.

Natasha Lelenco's art has been showcased across exhibitions in Spain, Germany, Denmark, Portugal, Mexico, and beyond.

Her themes encompass identity, self-awareness, and the role of chance in shaping the value of things and life itself. Her artistic journey has given rise to self-contained series where narrative and format harmonize, often springing from a playful interplay of repetition, color juxtapositions, deformations in pursuit of psychological realism, and a selective use of elements and resources available in her studio.

- Large Vibrant Surrealist Painting. Domestic Scene In Virtual LandscapeBy Natasha LelencoLocated in FISTERRA, ESShipped well packed in a roll, without frame. "The Nap (Bacchus' Siesta)" is an Artwork by Natasha Lelenco, a Spanish artist of Moldovan origin, created using acrylic on canvas. It depicts a domestic scene that combines figuration with geometric elements, residing somewhere between the pixelated world of digital imagery and allusions to the traditional ornamentation found in Eastern European canvases and tapestries. An intimate scene that bridges the gap between the virtual and physical worlds, illustrating the difficulty of finding a solid footing. The artist herself says this about the piece: "This work, humorously referred to as 'Bacchus' Siesta', originated as a portrait of my partner during the days of the 2020 pandemic lockdown. It was the first completed piece in the series titled 'New Jungles.' These works delve into themes of disorientation and virtuality, portraying characters who seem lost and absorbed. The degradation of the environment, the commodification of Earth's resources, and the displacement of communities due to consumerism all lead to disorganized societies where individuals become powerless subjects, struggling to find solid ground and a sense of place. 'Bacchus' Siesta' portrays a salon scene immersed in a simulated natural setting. The intricate floral details of the traditional Moldovan carpet...Category
