In praise of gothic artwork, medieval art, vampire art and artists of all kinds, this section is devoted to the ones who put pen to paper, paint to canvas or ink to skin. You’ll see examples of beautiful photography of gothic pictures as well as horror art that is no doubt created by the brilliance of the dark little minds that are most productive after midnight! Here you can read about our favorite poets, painters, clothing designers, corsetieres, make-up artists, hairstylists, haberdashers, and tattoo artists.

Gothic artwork can be found in architecture, furniture design, vampire art of course and the bloody horror art that keeps us awake at night (scary comics anyone!) We hope to cover your favorite gothic artwork whether it is tattoos, classic medieval art, or simple photographs that have the beautiful aesthetics of the perfect gothic picture. Medieval art, which is such a realistic version of gothic artwork, can be found at many galleries around the world and we will be sure to feature the fabulous places that house such masterpieces.

Keep a lookout for contests – sometimes they involve gothic artwork and ask for your version of one of our characters. If your style is horror inspired vampire derived or medieval art is your forte you are bound to find something of interest here!

Sylvia Ji

Article from Stolenspace.com

Sylvia Ji is a master of capturing the dark side of the

beautiful and the sublime. Macabre ‘Day Of The Dead’

catrinas intermingle with exotic empresses, with a regal

elegance. Ji’s imagery is a visual elixir of life and death,

combining sacred symbolism with mystical glamour and

 opulence. Influenced by historical costumery, Ji

incorporates Baroque detailing such as luxurious

tapestries, ornamental feathers, and gold leafing into her

work for a more elaborate and decorative effect.

Ji’s work encapsulates an alluring beauty that is both

cutting edge and a nod to time-honored technique. Her

 paintings are symbolic reflections of herself, portraits of

people she knows or nameless faces set in a landscape

of fleeting and decaying beauty. Possessing an artistic

voice as unique as the times we live in, Ji is at once

contemplative, spiritual, enigmatic, and yet whimsically

funny. Above all else, it is perhaps beauty that emerges

 as her defining characteristic, and her art reflects this:

an extension of herself; a passionate appreciation of

simple aesthetic pleasure fused with intimately complex subject matter.

Sylvia Ji was born in 1982, and raised in San Francisco,

California, where she received her BFA at the Academy

 of Art University. Upon graduation, she relocated to Los

Angeles in 2005 where she currently resides. Ji’s work

has been featured in numerous gallery exhibitions

including White Walls, Thinkspace, Lineage Gallery,

BLVD Gallery, and Art Basel’s Art Fair Now. She has been

profiled in publications such as Juxtapoz, Trace, and

Mesh Magazine, and her painting “Dona Dolorosa” graced the cover of the LA Weekly.
