Medusita by Lingua reimagines the myth of Medusa through a contemporary, emotionally charged lens. With wide, reflective eyes and serpents that twist like thoughts in mid-movement, this portrait balances innocence and danger, vulnerability and power.
Executed entirely in fine gel and glitter pen on cold-pressed cloth paper, the work features thousands of layered strokes — each contributing to the haunting detail of Medusita’s serpentine crown and glowing skin. UV-reactive pigments add a second visual dimension, revealing hidden textures and otherworldly brilliance under blacklight.
Rather than fear, Medusita evokes empathy — a silent narrative about misunderstood strength, mythic identity, and the quiet burden of transformation. Part portrait, part prophecy, this piece invites viewers to look — and look again.
