A pencil drawing about a moment of love
I wish I was next to her, laying my head on her shoulder, holding her in my arms, hearing her wispers of love, feeling her hot breath and her kisses. I've made this pencil drawing thinking about the love I cannot have

Beautiful like an opium dream
"She is beautiful like an opium dream", these are the words of Edgar Allan Poe that inspired me to make this acrylics on glass painting about beauty and pleasure. I love to see the pleasure on a woman's face, it makes me feel it too.

A new fantasy painting about the woman in my universe
I've made this crylics on glass painting yesterday starting from my old drawings and paintings, the drawings and paintings I've made by the year 2001. This is the one of the paintings I am talking about, a painting of HER, my ideal love, the Galateea I create by my art, the center of my universe standing naked in the cosmic light of the galaxy while the Earth can be seen on the sky, so beuatiful that I wish it was real.
By that time my drawings and paintings were not so good by I keep them as memories. Everytime I look at them the feelings I had by that time come back to me

To be different or a rainbow in a black and white world
The rainy weather on these days has inpired me to paint this. This is my painting about being different, being a rainbow in an ordinary black and white world where people are all the same, grey shadows with no personality walking in the same direction. This is my metaphysical self portrait, a spot of color in a colorless world with no sunshine and no rainbow, just rain. The acrylics on canvas painting is fluorescent and the rainbow shines in UV light.

My drawings and paintings of the poet Sappho and some words about the censorship of her poems
Sappho and Gongyla, acrylics on canvas painting |
These are mai painting of the poet Sappho from the Isle of Lesbos. I don't know if she was really homosexual but she was a great poet, a feminist and a sensitive artist. She loved beauty in all of it's forms, the beauty of nature, flowers and young girls. Unfortunately most of her creations have been destroyed by the misogyny christians that followed her. This christians, especially the orthodox christians in the eastern europe, acted and keep acting like talibans.
Sappho's poems were not about pornography and perversions. Sappho's poems were just about feminity, beauty and pure love, but they were destroyed be cause they have been written by a woman and this would contradict the text written by Saul (known as Saint Paul), a frustrated gay man in denial who hated gay men and all women be cause he could not accept himself. This Saul wrote that women are inferior and should not be allowed to be leaders of opinion, write and teach others.
Even the muslims were influenced by this frustrated man, islam being a branch that emerged later from the common stem of the abrahamic religions. All the abrahamic religions are characterised by misogynism and a conservative and intolerant attitude and have pulled humanity and civilisation backwards.
As I said before it's a pity a lot of creations, including Sappho's poems, have been lost because christians have destroyed them, like they did with Alexandria library.
Abrahamic religions have always been the worst enemy of both arts and science and without them we would have been far in space, reaching distant planets, without them.
There were times when people were killed be cause the had the courage to say the Earth is just a sphere rotating around the sun.
Scientists were killed, artworks were destroyed and wars were made in the name of a religion that claims to be the religion of love, peace and wisdom.
How can you talk abot love while you promote hate and intolerance? How can you talk about wisdom while you burn books and kill people just be cause they dare to tell the scientific truth contradicting the bible? Hou can you talk about peace while you make war "in the name of God"?
I's sad there are so many places in this world were people still follow abrahamic doctrine instead of knowing the scientific truth.
