Medusa - Original Mixed Media on Wood | Rita Irvin

I painted her face in deep teal against a background of newsprint worked into shadow.

The eight serpents are carved into the wood, their scales cut one at a time from hand-cut aluminum and set to catch the light from every angle. Each snake head is painted with fangs bared and a forked tongue.

About the Artist
Rita Irvin is a self-taught mixed-media artist raised in West Berlin, Germany. Her paintings work through memory, emotion, and transformation, built in layered textures and imagery. Influenced by Dalí, Frida Kahlo, and Georgia O'Keeffe, Rita developed her own visual language without formal training, shaped by years in interior design and a lifelong immersion in art and architecture. Every piece is a one-of-a-kind original, made by hand and never reproduced.
