The Secret Life of Medusa

With a background in graffiti and a passion for illustration, Elmar paints about human emotions through the stories of superheroes and comic book characters. He works between beauty and discomfort to confront the viewer in every scenario.

“Medusa’s strength lies in her extremely elastic hair, which she can use as extra arms. What if she gets exposed to cancer? Depending on the course of the therapy, she would lose her hair and so her super powers. What kind of heroine would she be then?” / Elmar Karla
