The central figure is rendered in stark white, her presence sharply contrasted by completely black eyes that evoke a sense of emotional void or otherworldly detachment. A striking detail sets the tone: a single black tear descending from one of her eyes. This tear — thick and shadowy — suggests a hidden history of sorrow, pain, or silent endurance. It marks her with a quiet, unresolved grief.
Visually, the painting draws from the spectral, the gothic, and the psychological. The lack of color in the eyes removes any human familiarity or warmth, heightening the contrast between beauty and eeriness. The piece evokes fear not through aggression, but through presence — as though the viewer is witnessing a soul bearing a silent, haunting story.
Emotions Conveyed:
– Subtle fear
– Melancholy
– Mystery
– Dark fascination
Interpretation:
"Madame Helena" can be interpreted as a visual embodiment of suppressed grief or emotional silence. Her ghostly figure calls to mind legends, lost spirits, or inner trauma that lingers. She stands as a symbol of pain that remains unspoken — elegant, still, but profoundly felt.

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 visual artist is not just an aesthetic quest, but a continuous 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 artwork 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 recesses 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.
These artworks are the illustrative representation of underworlds, in which scenarios and beings are created by mundane actions and emotions (or in some cases, lack thereof). They serve to expand the imagination and mainly to deepen reflection on the psyche and how we deal with thoughts.
