About The Artwork

"Medusa's Redemption" is a compassionate oil painting that reimagines the ancient Greek myth of Medusa with a focus on empathy and understanding. The artwork captures a pivotal moment in Medusa's life, portraying her not as a fearsome monster but as a complex and vulnerable character. In the painting, Medusa is depicted with a mix of serenity and sadness in her eyes, revealing the burden she carries due to her tragic curse. The artist uses a soft and warm color palette, incorporating earthy tones and gentle pastels, to convey a sense of compassion and tenderness. The use of light is particularly skillful, illuminating Medusa's face and bringing out the vulnerability in her expression, as well as casting subtle shadows on her serpentine hair. The painting tells a story of compassion and redemption, inviting viewers to question their preconceived notions and look beyond the surface to see the humanity in even the most misunderstood and feared figures. "Medusa's Redemption" serves as a reminder of the power of empathy and the potential for healing and transformation through understanding and acceptance. It urges viewers to reflect on the consequences of rash judgments and to see the beauty and complexity in all beings, no matter how different or mysterious they may appear.

I paint fervently for long intervals, as if I were walking blindfolded through nature, feeling the color with my skin. My artwork is represented in private and corporate collections in the United States, Switzerland, France and The Netherlands. Notable Exhibitions: Galerie Cècile Charron in Paris, Galleria del Arte Ill Milennio in Venice, Gallery Knoerle Baetig Fine Art, Galerie Mainau, Zurcher Kantonal Bank and AXA Winterthur in Switzerland. Internships In the Netherlands I apprenticed with the painter poet Anton Martineu, attended the Rietveld academy, and in India at the Honey Arts Modelling center I apprenticed in the "lost wax method" bronze casting technique. In Iceland I established the platform Fluxus Design Tribe and produced the film Pourqois Pas Borgarnes. Maine's Cafe Review selected the Mermaid for their cover of the Icelandic Poetry Edition. I am the co-founder and producer of MAP Magazine Artist Professionals and the Open Doors Event and Outside Inside platforms for artists working in Winterthur Switzerland. I gained Dutch and US attention with my illustrations in the book 'Closed Curtains Lives of de Wallen'. Other illustrations of mine have been published by the Dutch & Belgium publication 'Joie de Vivre'.
