Corot-7b landscape

Corot-7b is the first planet orbiting the star Corot-7, a yellow dwarf star in the Monoceros(Unicorn) constellation. The distance between the planet and the the Corot 7 star is 2,500000 km. Like our moon Corot-7b has no rotation movement, exposing to the star the same face. On the surface exposed to the star there is an ocean of lava where the temperatures reach 2400ºC while the other face of the planet is frozen with temperatures that can reach -200ºC. The high temperatures of the lava ocean make the rocks volatilize and then when they reach the cold areas in the upper atmosphere become solid again and fall back in the hot ocean as a stones rain.

This is the way I imagine a place on the borderline area between the hot lava ocean and the dark and cold side of the planet.

After 10 years

These is a painting I’ve made 10 years ago….

 

…and these is a pen drawing I’ve made these week.

10 years passed since I’ve started drawing and painting and I still feel the same emotions, I still dream of alien oceans shining in the blue light of a supernova. I still dream of a water nymph rising from the living ocean of love and shining in the blue supernova light. I wish I was there with her hold her, and feel her body like a summer rain even if she would flow between my fingers like water

She is an ice mountain

I’ve made this pen drawing of a ice woman today. She is like an ice mountain so beautiful but so distant and cold and I can never reach her. These is the emotion I’ve felt so many times, her coldness and distant attitude standing between us like an ice mountain.

The drawings I’ve made motivated by the need to be loved

Love, but especially the need to love and be loved is the muse that inspired many artists and inspiration for the great artworks. These are the drawings I’ve made since the year 2000 in my lonely moments when I’ve felt the need to love and be loved and the only thing I could do was to draw and paint all the things I can only dream of. She is just a creation of my mind but I’m so in love with her, the way Pygmalion loved Galatea and the only thing I need is Aphrodite to come into my life and turn my dream into reality.

The sensuality of the rose

The “king of the flowers” according to one of Sappho’s poems, the rose, especially the red one, is often associated with sensuality, passion and love

These are some of my drawings of beautiful women with roses that underline their beauty making the image more sensual and romantic

When I was in high school I was fascinated by the image in the movie American beauty and I fantasized about a beautiful young girl on a red rose petals bed

These is another red pen drawing I’ve made in high school

These are my newest drawings of beautiful women with red rose petals

While de red rose is a symbol of burning passion the white one represents purity. These is the watercolor painting of Elize, the painting I’ve made after listening to Beethoven’s song Fur Elize. The first thing I imagined while listening to these song were the white roses and the white rose petals around.
