Jupiter and Callisto

Jupiter si Calisto

Callisto was one of Artemis’s followers. All the nymphs who followed Artemis(Diana) should stay virgins and were severely punished if they had sexual relationships with men. Zeus(Jupiter) fell in love with her and disguised himself as Artemis to seduce and rape her.When she found out about what happened between Callisto and Zeus the goddess turned Callisto into a bear.

This is my pencil drawing of the transvestite Zeus/Jupiter kissing Callisto

New oil painting of Sappho

Sapphoi-0008

These is my newest oil painting representing the great poet of love and beauty Sappho, the female poet in the ancient Greece who wrote about the beauty of the young maidens, the feminine delicate beauty, so pure, so innocent, so wonderful. Sappho was a feminist, a poet who wrote about women and for women.

Rosette

I've made this painting inspired by the Rosette Nebula, this space rose that reminds me of the delicate beauty of red roses and young girls. This painting was sold two years ago.

I have the world

I have the world

These is the painting I’ve made inspired by Delyno’s song “I have the world”, a wonderful pacifist song with wonderful lyrics

I have the entire world inside
Inside my soul cause I
Don't wanna live alone
Don't Wanna die!
I have the entire world inside
Inside my heart so I
I'm gonna sing my song
And touch the sky!
If u seek my dreams
Flying over you
You will know the truth
Let's enjoy the fun
No, no bomb, no gun
Just lïght of the sun!

Elisse

Elise

This is my watercolor painting of Elisse, the way I imagine her when I listen to Bethoven's song Fur Elisse, a beautiful young woman with long curly brown hair and brown eyes, wearing white underwear, standing on a white silk bed, with white lilies and roses around her, I see her on the white bed. Everything is white around her, pure bright white, a symbol of her innocence. She is so delicate beautiful young and pure like a white flower. It is not clear who was Elisse but this is the way the song makes me imagine her

My Galateea

This is my watercolor painting of Aphrodite giving life to Galateea, the statue Pygmalion, her creator was in love with.

Just like Pygmalion did, I have my own Galateea, my own dream of love and beauty, the perfect lady of my mind. I’ve made many drawings and paintings of her, over 2000. Every time I feel lonely the only thing I can see in my mind is her. My brain created her but I am so in love with her and the only thing I need is Aphrodite to give life to her and bring her into my real life.

A winter queen

Fotografii-0012

This in my painting of a winter queen, so cold so bad but so beautiful. When she looks at me her eyes are freezing me. Everything she touch is turned into ice. Her dark hair is shining in the aurora light. She is the beauty of the winter and the aurora of the night
