About this artwork
“Metamorphoses – Medusa” is a contemporary reinterpretation of the ancient myth, where Medusa appears in the foreground as a sculptural, suspended figure. Behind her, the original Latin verses from Ovid’s Metamorphoses spread across the canvas like an echo from another age, the dripping handwriting suggesting both memory’s fragility and the violence of transformation.
The figure of Medusa, delicately modeled yet imposing, blurs the line between painting… and sculpture. Her calm, open posture invites a renewed reading: not as a monster, but as a symbol of violated beauty, divine punishment, and resilience. The serpentine hair becomes a halo of movement, while her lowered gaze carries the weight of centuries of misinterpretation.

« The paintings seem to aim for realism, but upon closer look we notice every deviation marked by the sharp contrast from one element to another. »
Marco Barberio is an established Italian painter who has exhibited his work internationally, including in Spain, Australia and the UK. Having cultivated a firm passion for art and creativity from a young age, he has worked as an art director as well as in web development and entrepreneurship alongside his artistic practice. Barberio's paintings primarily balance the dualism of realist forms and conceptual symbols, a style he describes as 'sampled realism.' His works ultimately offer each viewer the opportunity to contemplate the metaphors present in modern digital life, layering colors and curves to raise questions about loss, knowledge and reality.
