Medusa (2026)Oil painting by Ruslana Levandovska

This original oil painting reimagines Medusa as youthful, luminous, and captivating. Her direct gaze meets the viewer with calm strength and quiet confidence, transforming her from a mythic symbol of fear into a figure of depth, beauty, and power.

Her serpents are crafted in genuine gold leaf and painted over with fine detail, creating a radiant, textured surface that catches and reflects the light. As light shifts throughout the day, the gilded elements shimmer and subtly change, giving the artwork a dynamic, almost living presence.

Blending classical mythology with contemporary materials, this piece offers a striking focal point, rich in symbolism, visually compelling, and designed to bring character and sophistication to any interior.
