Corot-7b landscape
Corot-7b is the first planet orbiting the star Corot-7, a yellow dwarf star in the Monoceros(Unicorn) constellation. The distance between the planet and the the Corot 7 star is 2,500000 km. Like our moon Corot-7b has no rotation movement, exposing to the star the same face. On the surface exposed to the star there is an ocean of lava where the temperatures reach 2400ºC while the other face of the planet is frozen with temperatures that can reach -200ºC. The high temperatures of the lava ocean make the rocks volatilize and then when they reach the cold areas in the upper atmosphere become solid again and fall back in the hot ocean as a stones rain.
This is the way I imagine a place on the borderline area between the hot lava ocean and the dark and cold side of the planet.

After 10 years
These is a painting I’ve made 10 years ago….
…and these is a pen drawing I’ve made these week.
10 years passed since I’ve started drawing and painting and I still feel the same emotions, I still dream of alien oceans shining in the blue light of a supernova. I still dream of a water nymph rising from the living ocean of love and shining in the blue supernova light. I wish I was there with her hold her, and feel her body like a summer rain even if she would flow between my fingers like water

She is an ice mountain
I’ve made this pen drawing of a ice woman today. She is like an ice mountain so beautiful but so distant and cold and I can never reach her. These is the emotion I’ve felt so many times, her coldness and distant attitude standing between us like an ice mountain.

The drawings I’ve made motivated by the need to be loved
Love, but especially the need to love and be loved is the muse that inspired many artists and inspiration for the great artworks. These are the drawings I’ve made since the year 2000 in my lonely moments when I’ve felt the need to love and be loved and the only thing I could do was to draw and paint all the things I can only dream of. She is just a creation of my mind but I’m so in love with her, the way Pygmalion loved Galatea and the only thing I need is Aphrodite to come into my life and turn my dream into reality.
