Olympia
Oil on panel with fluorescent “rosaille” underpainting and custom glitter surface
A trio of seashells, anchored by a commanding starfish, rests atop a stylized Corinthian capital, glowing softly beneath jewel-toned shadows. In Olympia, Jo Gamel reimagines the classical still life as a feminine altar, where marine relics and baroque forms shimmer with quiet sanctity. The painting’s radiant rosaille underpainting and subtle glitter infusion evoke care as a sovereign act, honoring beauty, vulnerability, and self-ceremony.
