Mirror of love

Mirror of love, pencil drawing

She is looking at the woman in front of her, admiring her, being fascinated by her beauty, her tall slim stature, her soft white skin, her long dark hair, her white dress 👗 her jewelry, everything about her.
Does she want to be her or her lover? Does she want this beautiful girl or her dress and jewelry?
They look so similar, like twins and while they stay face to face they seem to be one    and the same person in front of a mirror.
Many women and girls admire other women and tend to draw and paint 🎨 young beautiful girls, not handsome men.

I've made this pencil ✏ drawing starting from an older version, a drawing I've made by the year 2004 wanting to have someone like me next to me. I had some dreams about the girl with dark hair in the drawing by that time even if I've never meet her.

Sappho's feeling of separation and lack of love

I've painted this on Tuesday, thinking about Sappho and her world of poetry, music, art beauty and the divine feminine under the cult of Aphrodite.
After finishing the painting I've discovered there is a coldness between the two women, like in many of my creations. They seem to be separated, turning their backs on each other, ignoring each other, not communication, standing still next to to the column that further separates them. While Sappho is still turning her shy look to the her, the other girl seems to be so indiferent, looking in the opposite direction.
This painting could be a good illustration for the poem Hymn to Aphrodite, a poem Sappho has written while she was in love with a girl who was not interested in her.

As I sad before I've made may drawings and paintings of two women turning their backs to each other since I was in high-school. I've made these creations feeling rejected by the girls I liked, like Sappho did more than 2000 years ago when she wrote the Hymn to Aphrodite.

Two drawings I've made when I was 15

I've cried many times feeling rejected when I needed to be loved, since I was a high school kid, and all the girls I liked were so cold, turning their backs on me, putting walls of indifference around them.

This is my drawingof the goddess Athena. My source of inspiration is the statue of Athena in the Parthenon that has been destroyed by the christians. This winter I visited the Parthenon, the ancient temple of Athena
