This painting has been with me for years—an idea I always knew I’d return to when I was ready to do it justice. Caravaggio’s Medusa has long been a reference point: visceral, chilling, yet strangely sympathetic. That tension—between monstrosity and tragedy—was something I wanted to explore in my own way.
In this work, I reimagined her through a more delicate, feminine lens—less monster, more martyr. There’s still power, but it’s tempered by grief, vulnerability, and the quiet weight of transformation. It’s both a tribute to the original and a personal reclamation—my retelling of who Medusa might have been beneath the curse.
Each piece is printed as a museum-grade giclée on archival fine art paper, preserving the depth, tone, and texture of the original digital painting with incredible fidelity.
The print is finished in a hand-sculpted drip frame, crafted from clay to echo the artwork’s melting, surreal edge. It’s not just a frame—it’s an extension of the piece itself, as if Medusa is dissolving into our world.
