Medusa - ceramic platter

The fierce Medusa with her snake hair adorned with the emblematic Naked Summers shell on the forehead, and the oceanic flower on the rim, painted in vivid colours. In the artist's interpretation, Medusa was never turned into a monster as a punishment. It was an act of sacred protection. The ability to turn her enemies into stone was not a curse but a gift. Her fierce appearance guards her pure soul. A divine transformation and rebirth. By applying sea water onto the bisque surfaces, the artist invites the unpredictable textures of salt to slightly mark each piece, transforming the surface into a record of both artistic intent and organic reaction. This artwork belongs to a limited series of just 7 hand-painted ceramic platters. The exclusive collection includes artworks: Huntress, Medusa & Scallop. White clay, pigment colour, slightly textured glaze. Designed and hand-painted by Christina Mandilari. Wheel-thrown in Athens. Approximate dimensions: diameter 30 cm × height 2 cm. Please note: Colours between images and actual artworks might slightly vary.
