Medusa's Horse is a captivating blend of mythology and abstraction. Inspired by the story of Medusa from Greek mythology, the flowing, serpentine mane of the horse symbolizes the fusion of two powerful symbols: the strength and grace of the horse and the mystique of Medusa's curse. The sculpture invites viewers to explore themes of transformation, power, and beauty emerging from chaos.
I crafted this piece with bronze to capture the strength and timelessness of the material, mirroring the enduring nature of mythological stories. The marble base contrasts with the flowing form of the horse, providing both balance and a sense of grounded elegance.
When viewers look at this piece, I hope they feel a sense of awe and curiosity. The abstract, twisting forms evoke movement and fluidity, encouraging contemplation of both the natural and mythical worlds. I chose a surrealistic style to distort the boundaries of reality and myth, allowing the viewer to interpret the work through their own experiences and imagination.
This sculpture is designed to be both a conversation starter and a focal point, ideal for collectors who appreciate not just the visual impact but also the deeper symbolism and narrative behind the artwork.
