That’s my version of Caravaggio’s painting of Medusa. The most common interpretation of Medusa suggests she is an apotropaic symbol used to protect from and ward off the negative, much like the modern evil eye. She represents a dangerous threat meant to deter other dangerous threats, an image of evil to repel evil. I've melded the tactile depth of collage with the fluid vibrancy of acrylic and pastel, creating a work that pulses with emotional intensity. The abstract and impressionistic styles converge, breathing life into an image that thrives on chaos and beauty. It's a visual symphony meant to stir the soul, inviting the viewer to explore the complex web of emotions interlaced within. It's more than just a painting; it's a conversation piece that will infuse your space with passion and profound contemplation
