A girl from Sappho's thaissos playing harp on the isle of Lesbos, next to the sea


I've made this thinking about one of the girls the poet Sappho used to teach the art of femininity, imagining she is there, on the isle of Lesbos, next to the Aegean sea, wearing a simple white dress and a violet and rose tiara, singing about love with a harp, her divine voice and inspiration from Aphrodite, singing like a mermaid, hoping someone will hear her over the seas.

The Costinesti shipwreck

This summer I've been to Costinesti and I've seen Evangelia, a popular wrechship, in the light of the sunrise. Evangelia have beenone of Aristotel Onasis's buisiness ships, beeing named after his daughter. On oct 15 1968 the sailors have taken the ship close to seacoast to damage it and get the money from the insurance. Finally the plan has been uncovered and they didn't get the money
This is my painting of Evangelia.
