Title: Vampire
Medium: Illustration markers, oil-based colored pencil, and gouache on Arches hot press watercolor paper
Size: 7.9 × 7.9 inches | 14X14 inches framed
This piece explores vulnerability and quiet power through a contemporary reimagining of the vampire archetype. Rooted in gothic folklore and fantasy, it shifts away from menace and toward longing, identity, and the emotional isolation often associated with eternal life. The figure is presented not as a predator, but as a tender, introspective presence, rendered with softness through wide, reflective eyes, flushed skin, and delicate features that blur the line between innocence and immortality.
Layered illustration markers establish depth and shadow, while oil-based colored pencils and gouache build texture, luminosity, and subtle tonal shifts throughout the skin and hair. The intimate scale encourages close viewing, drawing the audience into a quiet, contemplative encounter.
