The Vampirella portrait is a realistic artwork that pays homage to this fictional vampire superheroine created by Forrest J. Ackerman and comic book artist Trina Robbins in the 70’s for Warren Publishing. The artist uses a monochromatic colour palette contrasting with red to keep the portrait as close as possible to the original illustrations of the comic book black and white. While tears fall from her eyes and deep red blood drips from her half-open mouth, Vampirella stares intently at the viewer with calm posture at the center of the composition. Her dark hair is lost in the dark background while her neck and some of her characteristic costumes also fades into gloom. Every detail has been precisely painted, including the texture of the skin and freckles around the face, creating an illusion of photographic reality. As a result, Martin Rodriguez transforms a comic book character, Vampirella, into a living being in this impressive front portrait.

Martín Rodríguez began his life in Argentina, he spent his childhood in the countryside immersed in a world of his own where he imagined being Tarzan, a Roman gladiator, Robin Hood or a cowboy. Soon his older brother introduced him to comic publications, which inspired him to put that entire universe on paper, and from the time he discovered two Frank Frazetta books at the age of 12, all he did was draw away. At some point during his secondary studies, he started to believe that his enthusiasm for spending so much time drawing detailed scenes of battles, etc., was childish, this, coupled with the conservative ideas and negative image his family had of artists, ended up cancelling his creative-without-limits side. Despite this, he had sold his first painting in secret, the reproduction of a work of art by Frank Frazetta, whom he idolized, at the age of 19. Then completed his graphic design studies at university where he perfected his realistic drawing technique. In 1989 he created an atelier where for years he worked in advertising illustration and design. In the beginning, it made economic sense for him to make hyper-realistic drawings than to use photographs, which motivated him to specialize in it even more. By 2008, he exclusively chose projects where to apply his art, until, suddenly, one day at the age of 48, decided to pluck up the courage and be dedicated 100% to it, he wanted to paint! He started with what surrounded and inspired him, landscapes, etc., then met an important art dealer who brought his work to Buenos Aires, with his support he began portraying polo scenes and over time became the consummate horse painter, an internationally acclaimed expert. It was not until he felt self-assured that he aspired to travel and to expand his art by illustrating fantasy characters such as superheroes. And so he arrived in Spain where he had to start over making a name for himself. He gets to exhibit his work in Barcelona, Tarragona, Andorra, etc. At a decisive moment he met and quickly became a close friend of Juan Giménez, the great master of sci-fi art.
