1. Title
"Face to Face II: Instinct"
2. Description of the image
On the square canvas, a moment of pure tension unfolds—a vampire and a bat, foreheads almost touching, their jaws gaping, fangs flashing. The vampire—not as a human, but as a beast—bares his teeth with anger and primitive strength. The bat—smaller, but equally fierce—retaliates. There is no hierarchy here. No victor. Only instinct. Only reflection. Their eyes meet not with curiosity, but with recognition.
3. Technology
The painting is oil on canvas, using a strong impasto technique – the paint is thick, almost sculptural, particularly in the areas of the face, skin, fur, and tense muscles. The abstract background enhances the drama and unreality of this confrontation.
4. Style
Expressionist realism with elements of symbolism. This is a portrait not of bodies, but of instincts—a painting that captures not a moment, but an essence. The style is primitive in expression, yet deeply emotional—almost like a painterly manifestation of the first, oldest gaze: me versus you.
5. Colors
Brownish black, red muscles, and the gleam of teeth in cold shades dominate. The light—brutal and contrasting—emphasizes the teeth, tension, and eye contact. Each color carries meaning: anger, blood, darkness, the outer.
6. Invoice
Texture is intense and palpable almost everywhere—from the vampire's skin to the bat's ragged fur. The paint wasn't applied—it was struck onto the canvas. The texture conveys tension—not only in the figures but also in the spaces between them.
7. Inspiration
-
Francis Bacon – for brutality of emotions and deformity.
-
Goya (“Saturn Devouring His Son”) – for the dramatic nature of the face.
-
Expressionismus (Der Blaue Reiter) – for painterly aggression of form and color.
8. Message and interpretation
"Face to Face II: Instinct" isn't a film about vampires and bats—it's a film about the primal. About a gaze that leaves no room for language, only for reaction. It's not a dialogue—it's a mirror. It's a confrontation with ourselves. Are we looking at the beast—or are we the beast?
9. Originality
A painting extraordinary in its ferocity and purity of message. "Face to Face II: Instinct" is not a painting that contemplates—it is a painting that strikes. The viewer doesn't look at the painting—the painting looks at them. And it doesn't ask for permission.
