This is a small version of a painting from my 'Blood is the Life series.'
 
‘Blood is the Life’ takes more direct inspiration from Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula and the 1992 Francis Ford Coppola movie adaptation that still stands, in his opinion, as the most accurate take on the original text. He was particularly interested in the way gothic narratives present love as something that exists alongside danger, transformation, and loss. These ideas encouraged him to confront his own response to themes such as blood and death, not only as sources of fear but also as symbols that carry emotional and psychological meaning.
