About this artwork
Medea is a monotype in color belonging to a series of recent production that investigates the theme of motherhood. Some works are in color while others are pervaded by the black of chalcographic ink and imprisoned in a grid of signs.
Contrary to the mother's commonplace as an overflowing figure of only love, the work instead wants to reflect on its whole nature, as a human being: the creative and destructive one. Generating life implies pain, renunciation,… alienation, suffering for mother and child in seeing their respective physical and psychic metamorphoses.
