The dacian version of the legend of the Pleiades and the goddess Bendis


This oil on canvas painting is about what the romanians call "sanziene", a dacian legend about 7 young maidens that follow the goddess Bendis like the pleiads follow Artemis. They are immortal eternal virgins like the virgin goddess they follow and they punish men who try to get close to them.
This painting is representing the 7 sisters (Pleiades in greek mythology, sanziene in the dacian mythology), the goddess Bendis for dacians, Diana for romans and Artemis for the greeks and the poet Sappho singing about them (Sappho has written some poems about the Pleiades)
You can watch me painting in the video below

The life of a lesbian in Romania

Sometimes I feel so lonely and sad and all I need is love, the love I am not allowed to have here in Romania, here in this God damn country where the retrograd orthodox church is governing our lives next to the corupt politicians who should all be in prison not in the parlament and now they want to make a homophobic constitution and two women cannot be together be cause here women are not really independent. Here a woman's succes depends on the men she has relationships with, not on her work. I have a lot of female friends who don't even have a job and all the successful women I know have men behind them, business men or men with important jobs. I've never meet a business woman or a woman with a well paid who is a lesbian or a single woman.
Do you know why? Be cause they have no chance in this fucking society, be cause they are discriminated all the time, be cause there are a lot of companies where the boss fires women who don't want to sleep with him. I know from my own experience. I've never liked boys and I've never had a boyfriend and I work hard just to keep myself on the lowest survival line and pay my bills and for other women like me it's even harder. I've had a girlfriend who was in a desperate situation. She has lost her job and her family was not accepting her and she had nothing, and that's what happens to most of us. We loose our jobs or we can never find a job and our homophobic relatives don't accept as as we are and that's why we can never have relationships. We have no place that is ours, nothing and to be together we must pay the price of loosing everything and remaining on the streets with no job, no money, no house, nothing. We work hard and we can never have our own house from our own work, we cannot even rent a flat to live together. We loose our jobs or we can never find a job and our homophobic relatives don't accept as as we are and that's why we can never have relationships There is an economical discrimination of women here in Romania, not only lesbians, all the women who don't have influent boyfriends or husbands.
A painting about two girls who try to stay together in a hostile world, on a n unstable ground, so fragile, so vulnerable
I've made all of these drawings and paintings in my lonely and sad moments when I could only dream about the love I cannot have. I can only paint imagining I am next to the woman I love, that's all I can do, living alone in this intolerant society.

Being an artist in Romania

This is a painting about the way I feel as an artist in Romania, with no galleries and no possibilities to make an art exhibition and sell my art. Here in Romania artists have no legal possibility to sell art and they have to take the risk of selling them without paying taxes to the state. The Romanian government is planing to overtax all the liberal professions, killing them economically.

Hitler and Stalin from Romania

This is my drawing of a Hitler who was supporting Gigi Becali and other far right extremists and a Stalin with microcephaly who makes an anti cultural politics and an economical politics against scientifical research because he cannot understand arts, culture and science, it is over his mental capacity.

Then situation of the artists in Romania

This is the situation of the artists in Romania, no galleries no places to put their art on display, a lot of economical barriers. In Romania there is an economical war against the artists. as a part of an anti cultural war. It's hard for an artist to promote and sell his art. There is no place for art and artists in this country where people like Bianca Dragusanu get a lot of money for nothing while others who work and create something die starving

A dream about Romania and the Black Sea

I dreamed this map of Romania and a strange vibe coming from the Black Sea this morning. The vibe came from the spiral in the Black Sea, spiral that was reflecting in a smaller spiral somewhere in Moldova I dreamed this image was on a big screen and I don't know what it may symbolize.
