Medusa’s Recipe

The painting presented here depicts Medusa as just another other lady doing her house chores. Whether you’re a woman in Modern society or a Green demon with venomous snakes for hair, you need to provide for yourself and pack your meals with protein.

The work shows Medusa in an asymmetrical red gown with her hair untamed. She stared into oblivion as the fire cooking her fish also romances the bottom of her gown.

In this highly relatable painting as Medusa goes about cooking her lunch, you’re left wondering what other chores she still has pending.
