Medusa

 

 

background

My first Medusa painting was part of the Triënalle collection at the Cobra Museum, in The Netherlands. I wanted to show the beauty of differences that lies in the eye of the beholder. In this first painting of a series, I combine a typically Dutch heritage, as Delftware tulip vase, with colourful tropical flowers, representing a meeting of the Dutch and Brazilian cultures by which each enhances the other.
