I've made these watercolor painting inspired by the poem "Lacul"(The Lake) by Mihai Eminescu. These is one of the many beautiful but sad poems the poet wrote in the memory of his first love, a young girl from his village who has died when she was only 19. The poet could never forget her be cause she was like an angel, a beautiful girl with golden hair and a wonderfull soul who could stay next to the one she loved for a lifetime.
These is a translation of the poem
THE LAKE
Water lilies load all over
The blue lake amid the woods,
That imparts, while in white circles
Startling, to a boat its moods.
And along the strands I'm passing
Listening, waiting, in unrest,
That she from the reeds may issue
And fall, gently, on my breast;
That we may jump in the little
Boat, while water's voices whelm
All our feelings; that enchanted
I may drop my oars and helm;
That all charmed we may be floating
While moon's kindly light surrounds
Us, winds cause the reeds to rustle
And the waving water sounds.
But she does not come; abandoned,
Vainly I endure and sigh
Prostate, as the water lilies
On the blue lake ever lie.

Icon of the sin
This is my pencil drawing of a young woman who is hiding the sin behind her fake saint image, like many religious people do. Many religious people are just hiding the sin behind their innocent masks and holly principles they don’t even respect not admiting the fact that what they call “sin” is in the human nature. This is representing the fake saints who judge the others for things they also do behind their religious masks and lies.

Pure love and passion
There are moments when I need to feel loved. There are moments when I need to be covered by love. I've made this pencil drawing yesterday dreaming of a moment of pure love and passion. This is how I imagined myself in the warm candle light next to my love who is kissing my delicate body so sweet and tenderly

New pen drawing
This is my newest pen drawing representing one of my most beautiful fantasies. This is the way I imagine me with a beautiful young woman in a dream landscape, standing in the warm shallow water that is reflecting the hypnotic blue light above like a mirrror. The city is far and we are here, just us standing in the blue shallow water

Mermaid love
Since I was a child I had a fascination for mermaids and always wondered if they really exist or they are just a myth. This is one of my many mermaid drawings
