The portrait of a magician queen

When I've made this I just wanted to paint a woman wearing a tiara made of violets and an ellegant purple dress but after finishing it I realised my woman looks like a magician or a queen. She seems to be a mature dominant woman with some interest in magic, spirituality and the unknown.

The archetypal tree

One night I had a dream about this tree that seems to hold the sun with it's branches. The tree is an archetypal symbol of the ego while the sun is representing consciousness deep inside our minds. The tree is the mind while the sun is the soul.

Forbidden rainbow 🌈

I want to paint a rainbow but my colors are chained in a restrictive black and white world where there is no place for art and no place for anything that goes beyond the norm. When will I see the rainbow 🌈 of hope? This drawing is about the censorship of art in Romania. There are only a few galleries in Bucharest and more than 7000 painters who have no place where they can display their creations. The galleries that still exist in Bucharest don't accept all art. One example is my painting "Flames of love" rejected by some galleries for it's lesbian content.
