The painting "Ariadne's Thread" is a depiction of the Greek myth of Ariadne, a princess who helped the hero Theseus defeat the Minotaur in the labyrinth of King Minos. A thread winds its way through the labyrinth, leading to the center. The colors in the painting are vibrant and saturated, creating a surreal atmosphere. The painting can be interpreted in many ways. On one level, it is a literal depiction of the myth of Ariadne. The woman's face represents Ariadne, the door represents the entrance to the labyrinth, and the thread represents the thread that Ariadne gave to Theseus to help him find his way out of the labyrinth. On a deeper level, the painting can be seen as a metaphor for the journey of personal growth. The woman's closed eyes and parted lips suggest that she is in a state of deep contemplation. The labyrinth represents the challenges and obstacles that we all face in life. The thread represents the guidance and support that we can find along the way. The vibrant colors of the painting suggest the beauty and possibilities that can be found within the labyrinth. Ultimately, the meaning of the painting is up to the viewer to decide. It is a painting that can be interpreted in many different ways, and it can offer a sense of hope and inspiration to those who are on their own journey of personal growth.

Australia
Max Horst Sokolowski is a highly trained & full-time contemporary Australian painter having completed a Master Degree at the European Academy of Arts in 1997 who generally paints under the name Max Horst. Exploring the nature of people and the relationships between them, Horst’s paintings are very often short stories of small,daily moments of life. He distills these relationships through simplified forms and shapes, developing his own code of symbols - a code which is constantly changing and developing over time. In his quest for simplicity and honesty, Horst draws much of his inspiration from cave paintings and naive art, “because I find them very honest as a form of art”. The viewer can sometimes sense the presence of elements of Aboriginal art in Horst's work. Using oil, acrylic, watercolour, gouache, he may mix them with drawing techniques. Natural pigments of earth colours are the base of Horst's palette. With an intuitive preoccupation with colour, form and line, Horst’s work belies a carefully considered composition and an appreciation of the nature of human interaction. Horst’s work is held in private collections throughout Australia and overseas.
