Description
(Louis & Claudia)"If God doesn't exist we are the creatures of highest consciousness in the universe. We alone understand the passage of time and the value of every minute of human life. And what constitutes evil, real evil, is the taking of a single human life. Whether a man would die tomorrow or the day after or eventually... it doesn't matter. Because if God does not exist, then life... every second of it... Is all we have.”
-Louis de Pointe du Lac in 'Interview with the Vampire' by Anne Rice

And even if God does exist, I'm not sure he knows any better than we do.
Probably less, in fact.

I love the atmosphere you created and the background is so full of details...
In the upper parts the saints and Jesus Christ and in the lower part, merging in Louis coat, devils and sin. For me your picture tells much about Louis, how he yearns for salvation, but is trapped in hell. Interesting how due to the colours of his skin and clothes being mostly white and black he seems to fit in rather more in the background.
I also love how the two crosses flow into each other and that Louis' bloody tears resemble the blood dripping from the wounds of Jesus. And Claudia, she is so beautiful in your picture and although she is one of the few parts of the picture which is coloured other than black and white, she does not distract from the whole picture, but rather, fits well with it.
Your picture leaves me in deep thoughts, which not many pictures achieve. I love it very much. You are a great artist!

Hi... I'm so sorry I left this comment unanswered. Probably one of the best comments I've received about my work. I apologize to you.
And I thank you for your words. You have understood what I wanted to express with this painting.
And I can only add a little detail about my idea: Claudia's dress. It is the dress of an adult woman, which is what she wants to be. That's why the dress is so big for her little body.

I wanted to represent the Hell with the cross upside down, and Heaven with the altar with Jesus Christ crucified.
And also... Louis is always trying to come to Goodness... and escape from the Evil... while Claudia lives her vampire nature fully.
