Vampire Art by Avelina De Moray
Left to be raised by wolves on the steps of Castle Dracula during the Reaper Blizzard in the winter of 84, Avelina was compelled to find her wings and uncover her true vampire, the vampire that stirs within us all, hidden deep in the darkest recesses of our minds soul. Avelinas’ odyssey would take her through many different artistic mediums including poetry, art, photography and music. Influenced mostly by the sexually religious surreal works of Hieronymus Bosch, H.R Giger and Salvador Dali, Avelina also draws inspiration from movies and books crediting Bram Stoker as her primeval muse. Her colour pallet also heavily reflects these influences with the use and abuse of burnt reds, electric blues and violent greens designed to bring forth an emotional response from within the unsuspecting spectator. Avelina is currently working on a new series of vampire artworks and hopes that you will enjoy her exciting and at times delightfully macabre outlook on life.
