Perseus with the Head of Medusa

This is a rendering of Benvenuto Cellini’s ‘Perseus with the head of Medusa.’ I adore this sculpture and wanted to pay homage to it through a colorful interpretation. I chose to abstract Medusa’s head as a means to leave the subject of the beheading open to interpretation. This is meant to symbolize a non-discriminatory approach toward one’s problems, challenges, and/or obstacles. I use it as inspiration when I think of difficult situations that the require the determination and prowess of Perseus.
