Tarini’s process is one of careful selection and digital precision, searching for the exact cinematic frame that can inhabit a Renaissance masterpiece. By layering vertical strips of a film still over the original painting, he creates a visual vibration where the textures of oil paint and film grain collide. The reddish-brown tones of the original shield provide a dark, heavy foundation for the vibrant red of the blood, emphasizing the shared violence of both source materials.

The result is a portrait that evokes a sense of uneasy disorientation, much like a Picasso reconstruction. The duality in narrative allows the viewer to see both the mythological Gorgon and the modern slasher victim simultaneously, blurring the lines between high art and pop culture. Through this play of light and dark tones, Tarini explores how fear and expression remain constant across centuries of visual storytelling.
