Susanna Inglada (1983) is known for using a collage technique in which she uses coloured paper on which she draws the different parts, cuts and consequently assembles the image. A face can therefore have an orange, cheeck and yellow chin and a nose in yet another colour. Due to this composite nature she avoids creating an unequivocal portrait with which you would identify directly.
In Medusa, she refers to the classic figure of the snake-haired gorgon who turns to stone all who look in her eyes. Susanna Inglada has created a rather friendly version of the Medusa in which the snakes are replaced by hands and arms. In doing so, she counters the frightening and negative image of the evil femme fatale that has so often been portrayed throughout art history.
