Description of the Artwork “VAMPIRES”
This piece is part of the Umbral collection, which explores states of post-life consciousness where we are confronted by our inner monsters. Once we leave the physical body, our fears, anxieties, anguish, guilt, and unresolved issues have nowhere left to hide, emerging fully exposed, like a skull without skin. The portraits in this collection tell these stories, inviting the viewer to confront their own demons. "Vampires" is a metaphor to portray a very common relationship dynamic both on the spiritual plane and in incarnate life. Energy vampires project their needs onto others and depend on other people's energy to sustain themselves. These interactions reflect a cycle of emotional exhaustion where the giver of energy finds himself weakened and the receiver increasingly empty of himself. The surrounding fog symbolizes the sneaky way in which these dynamics manifest themselves, and the abstract lines show that, by occupying the role of energetic vampire.
Artwork in the interior
Otrebor, Portugal
My name is Roberto and I am a visual artist. Otrebor has always been present within me, since the first days I perceived the world around me. He is the manifestation of that side that matured too soon, that observed reality with a different, deeper and, at times, darker look. Since I was a child, I have been drawn to horror films, to images that others would avoid. The B side of life, the shadows that go unnoticed, have always instilled something in me, like a silent call to explore what hides beyond the surface. My journey as an artist is not just an aesthetic quest, but an ongoing dive into the unresolved emotions and invisible landscapes of the psyche. Through Otrebor, I invite the viewer to face discomfort, embrace the complexity of existence, and find beauty where most see only darkness. Each work is a portal to this introspection — a chance to reveal the B side within us all. Otrebor's art is a reflection of this hidden side. Every brushstroke, every composition is an expression of this duality—the beauty found in darkness, the truth revealed in the deepest corners of the human soul. Through my art, I seek to confront and explore the unknown, the unspoken, what many prefer not to see. Otrebor is the mirror of an internal universe, where shadows are not feared, but accepted as an integral part of the human experience.
