Grimilde

Vanessa Semaino

 

“Grimilde” is an artwork that addresses the dilemma of envy within the context of the seven deadly sins, through a representation that merges the wicked characters from fairy tales into a single figure. In it, there are recognizable references to Grimhilde, the witch from “Snow White”, the Queen of Hearts from “Alice in Wonderland,” and Cruella De Vil, all aimed at portraying envy in a world dominated by social media and the constant quest for approval and affirmation. The artwork is named after the evil queen from Snow White, and her figure is made evident by the turban that frames the face, emphasizing its features and wrinkled expression. The dress, with a black and white checkered pattern with red details, evokes that of the Queen of Hearts, as seen in the large red hearts decorating the crown, replacing the traditional acanthus leaves of typical Sicilian Moorish heads. But there’s more: the artwork goes further by incorporating distinctive elements of Cruella De Vil, such as the long black gloves and a cigarette holder, which complete Grimilde’s look, giving the character a unique touch. This fusion of wicked fairy tale characters into a single representation underscores the complexity of envy, which can manifest in various forms and facets. “Grimilde” is a reflection on envy in the contemporary era, a representation of how our relentless search for validation and constant exposure to unrealistic ideals can fuel this deadly sin. The artwork challenges observers to explore complex emotions and consider how envy can influence self-perception and our relationship with others. The reflection in the mirror, which is incorporated into the base of the artwork, alludes to the eternal question: “Who is the fairest of them all?”
