Medusa was inspired by old cigarette ads from 50's and 60's. You can see on the painting two sentences, one in English saying "smoke a fresh cigarette, free your inner beast" and another in Polish "palenie tytoniu powoduje raka i choroby serca" which means " smoking causes cancer and heart diseases ", showing how as a population we are making bad decisions, blindly following one another. The whole painting is vibrant and keeps your attention where your eyes try to catch every detail. It’s a juxtaposition of Medusa as a Gorgon who could seduce you to look at her and turn you in to stone, and Cigarettes as well as seductive, which could be result of your slow death. Medusa's head is to represent the natural cycle of life, symbolising rebirth and death.

Katarzyna Zarzycka is London based contemporary artist with Polish nationality. Works mainly in acrylic and oil paints. She has studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, Poland, finishing with bachelors degree. She chose Optical Arts as her diploma subject, what pushed her interests towards visual perception and deepened her curiosity in science. She puts together her love for art, interests in science and human mind. Her art is not obvious and it can appeal to the beholder in many different ways, creating very new, unique vision. She is passionate about psychology, what you can observe in her works, very often making reference to life, human mortality, population and it’s decisions, people blindly following one another, worlds events. She rally around social behaviours. Her art can be cynical, harsh, irreverent and surreal. In her works she envision a portrait alike figures within abstract, surreal or pop art elements, often trying to confront different styles, like in eclecticism. Sometimes she puts two contradictory subjects together. Zarzycka often uses vivid colours in her works. She works gradually on her paintings, layering paint thinly, often changing direction while creating.
