Vampire
Drawing by Liubov Datchenko
70 x 100 cm • Soft pastel, Toned paper, Paper and pencils
Location:
Dnipro, Ukraine
In Slavic mythology, a vampire is the soul of a deceased person who, for certain reasons, cannot leave the world of the living. According to beliefs, vampires are the dead who have risen from their graves to suck the life force out of people or animals. They are the embodiment of fear of the unknown, a violation of the natural cycle of life and death.
This is not only a demonic image, but also a meditation on human fear and hope for rebirth. His breath is the cold of the night, his eyes are the memory of the earth, he seeks warmth among the shadows to remember what life is.
