Medusa is an original oil painting on primed wood, measuring 12 × 16 inches (30 × 41 cm). This evocative work reimagines the mythological figure not as a monster, but as a woman imbued with dignity, introspection, and quiet authority. Set on the island of Sarpedon—where Medusa’s fate was sealed—the composition captures a suspended moment of self-awareness, as though the figure is poised to confront her own image and story.
Rendered with restrained tenebrism and classical realism, the painting invites reflection on themes of destiny, transformation, and the human cost hidden beneath legendary narratives. The gaze is inward rather than confrontational, reframing Medusa as a figure of tragic depth rather than fear, and challenging centuries of one-dimensional mythmaking.
The original artwork is available for acquisition. Fine art print options are also offered for collectors seeking a carefully produced reproduction that preserves the depth, color, and symbolic detail of the original work.
