Medusa

A modern take on this classic subject matter, this bust of Medusa is a commission in Nadia's black and gold style. The contrast of the cold stone with the brighter gold on the snakes provides a unique contrast into the piece. While many artists would get lost in the details of the snakes, Nadia expertly saves the sharpest details for the snakes in the foreground, leaving the rest out of focus. She is acutely aware of the complex shadows in the bends of the snakes, keeping her light source consistent throughout them. By Nadia Most.
