As a Marine Biologist, I have always been fascinated by medusas. They have been around for billions of years and are simultaneously simple and complex. Several studies are pointing at a “takeover” from this organism in the oceans. In many parts of the world, fisheries are collapsing because they are blooming. Most likely because of changes in the nutrient conditions of the water due to human agriculture. I painted this with dripping on top of a printed medusa I found online. It was a shower curtain. I used only 3 oil colors (white-black-blue) to define the animal and plenty of optic white and optic blue UV-sensitive pigments for the background. It is a big piece.
