Trinacria – That is a female creature you can find on the flag of Sicily and almost everythere as decorative element in this region. Her head is the same as the head of Medusa (a female creature from greek mythology with snakes on her head instead of hair). But in contrast to Medusa the sicilian version has also wings and furthermore three walking legs which symbolize the sun and the triangular shape of the island.
I am intrigued by this female figure and wanted to combine it with my passion for Mandala paintings.
