With her in abeautiful morning
I've made this drawing in 2005 imagining I am with a beautiful mature and strong woman in the morning light after one night spent together and she is watching the modern city with it's metal and glass buildings rising from the blue ocean.
The image below is the old version of this drawing, a drawing I've made by the year 2000, when I was 14.

Catch the rain
It's so easy to convince yourself you're in love, you know for sure
But true love can be like falling rain, from a drop to a splash on the floor
I made this drawing in 2006 inspired by the lyrics of the song "Catch the rain" by Lili Sandu.

A heart
This is how most people would draw a heart...
...and this is the way I draw it and the way it looks like in reality, totally different from the symmetrical figure above that looks like a leaf, a female ass or anything else but not a human heart. I don't understand why that shape is considered a heart and associated with love.

Leda and the swan
This is my pencil drawing of Leda and Zeus as a swan, a drawing I’ve made yesterday
Zeus became a swan to be with Leda, the daughter of the king Testios of Etolia. Zeus and Leda had 4 children who came out of the swan’s eggs : the twins Castor and Pollux, Clytimenstra and Elena.
Some say the swan was a male but the legend says this swan could make eggs. How can a male swan make eggs?
Maybe the ancient Greeks knew that in birds the females have the XY sex chromosomes, while males have XX. In this legend Zeus was the mother and Leda was the father, so the roles were reverted.
