Swamp Creature 2 (2018)

In this painting, the conventions of a formal portrait collide with an eerie, otherworldly presence. A suited man stands beneath a pale moon, his elongated face and hollowed features carrying a distinctly vampirish quality. His eyes are piercing yet detached, and the vivid red tie burns against the muted tones like a trace of blood, heightening his predatory aura.

Behind him, a haze of barren trees rises from the swamp, blurring the boundary between nature and nightmare. At once dignified and distorted, the figure feels drained of vitality—caught somewhere between the corporate boardroom and the realm of the undead.
