Eve out of Eden

A dream I've had this morning has inspired me to paint this naked woman passing through a vegetal gate that is separating two worlds, like Eve when she has left the garden of Eden.

Watch me painting

A dream

I had this dream a few days ago. I suddenly decided to go, to fly far away and then I got there, where I knew there was a city close to sea, where the woman I once loved was living. I was all alone and I had no place to go but I was not afraid. I felt so free. I was walking in a desert looking for the city and the sea. The sky had a pinkish color. It was only me there, so lonely, and her ghost was haunting my mind. I was walking hoping I will find the sea, hoping I will meet her again. I walked until the morning alarm 🔔 started ringing.
This painting is abot the dream I had.

Sappho was the best known female poet in the ancient Greece but not the only one.
By that time there was a culture of the feminine poetry and art and young women and girls were organized in groups  ruled by poets like Sappho were they were writing poems, they were singing in chorus, they were dancing.
Corinna from Tanagra, Boetia was a poet too. She wrote epic poems about the daughters of Minyas, Oedip and Orion and an invocation to  Therpsichore, the muse of dance and chorus. Like Sappho did, Corinna has ruled a group of young maidens.
Corinna has inspired the poet Ovid too and I'm proud to bear her name. The name Corina has her story behind it.
Erinna was one of Sappho's followers.
She has written Distaff, a poem about her childhood friend Baucis who has died shortly after the wedding. Was marriage something unwanted  for Baucis? Erinna died shortly after she has written the poem. She was just 19.
This is my coffee painting of Corinna, Erinna and Sappho.

 I've made this painting on september 11 2001, just before the attack. I was just 15. By that time I felt like drawing and painting skyscrapers all the time and the twin towers were in almost all of my drawings, as you see in the detail below  

Never forget september 11 2001

I've made this after the september 11 2001 terror attacks, using my lipstick. I was only 15
