In this hypnotic work, the artist captures the unsettling essence of Medusa, a figure both fascinating and terrifying in Greek mythology. Painted in shades of gray, Medusa's head appears almost metallic, her downcast gaze seeming to hide a profound sadness. The snakes that make up her hair merge with dark, shiny, almost lifelike strands, evoking the legend of their terrible petrifying power.
The monochrome treatment and expressive touches of dripping acrylic give this mythological figure an unexpected modernity. Medusa, here, is no longer just a mythical monster but a contemporary enigma, a metaphor for pain turned to stone, for beauty disfigured by a curse. The salvaged material used for the canvas, with its textures and imperfections, adds a raw, organic dimension, emphasizing the contrast between the divine and the human, the eternal and the fleeting.
Medusa is a meditation on power and vulnerability, an invitation to look beyond the icy surface to discover the complex emotions and tragedy hidden beneath the stone mask.
