Ursula 

Fernanda Suarez's ‘Ursula’ presents a contemporary take on the iconic villain, playing with form and surface through digital painting. The composition centres on Ursula, whose figure dominates the frame, immediately drawing the viewer's eye. Suarez employs a striking contrast between the sharp lines of Ursula's modern attire and the fluid, swirling shapes of the tentacles in the background, creating a dynamic tension. The colour palette is carefully chosen to evoke mood; the muted purples and blues of the backdrop enhance the richness of Ursula’s complexion and red lipstick, emphasizing her allure and power. The details, such as the ‘Poor Unfortunate Souls’ tattoo and the gold shell necklace, add layers of meaning, hinting at the character's history and motivations. Suarez's piece destabilizes the traditional representation of villains, engaging with modern sensibilities and shifting cultural perceptions of beauty and power. This image challenges us to reconsider fixed notions, inviting us to embrace the complexities and nuances of Ursula’s character.
