Some pencil portrait drawings

Sad bride

Sad bride, painting

This is my painting of a bride who is sad be cause she had to marry a man she doesn't love. She is looking back at the love she had to leave behind and crying. Unfortunately many women were forced into marriage in the past and even now there are places in this world where women cannot live their lives the way they want to. There were long periods of time when women had no right to decide about their own life and no freedom to choose. They were sold and used like objects or animals, used for procreation and raped by the men they were forced to live their lives with. Some of these brides committed suicide while others lived a life of misery and sadness. I start being sad to when I thing how sad it was the life of a woman in the past.

Woman between the stars and star between women

A kiss from her

Her kiss pencil drawing

I've made this drawing dreaming about the love I can never have.

Sappho and Gongyla

This is my balpoint pen drawing of the poet Sappho and Gongyla, one of her girlfriends.
I have a tempera painting too.

This is the poem Sappho wrote for Gongyla, the poem that inspired me.
Please

Come back to me, Gongyla, here tonight,
You, my rose, with your Lydian lyre.
There hovers forever around you delight:
A beauty desired.

Even your garment plunders my eyes.
I am enchanted: I who once
Complained to the Cyprus-born goddess,
Whom I now beseech

Never to let this lose me grace
But rather bring you back to me:
Amongst all mortal women the one
I most wish to see.

Watching and protecting the Earth
