Ghoulish Salome

Here a contemporary interpretation (2007) of the old myth of Salome and St. John the Baptist by the Polish artist Joanna Chrobak (born 1968). Salome looks like a pale ghoulish ghost contemplating sadly her trophy. A great painting in the best Polish surrealist tradition.

    This character is fascinating to me. I had mentioned before?
    I did not know this artist and I was impressed. Seek more information about it. Thanks.
