The mental castle

The mental castle or the city of the mind, fluorescent drawing

Woman between the stars and star between women




A kiss from her

Her kiss pencil drawing
I've made this drawing dreaming about the love I can never have.

Sappho and Gongyla

This is my balpoint pen drawing of the poet Sappho and Gongyla, one of her girlfriends.
I have a tempera painting too.


This is the poem Sappho wrote for Gongyla, the poem that inspired me.
Please

Come back to me, Gongyla, here tonight,
You, my rose, with your Lydian lyre.
There hovers forever around you delight:
A beauty desired.

Even your garment plunders my eyes.
I am enchanted: I who once
Complained to the Cyprus-born goddess,
Whom I now beseech

Never to let this lose me grace
But rather bring you back to me:
Amongst all mortal women the one
I most wish to see.

Watching and protecting the Earth

Watching and protecting the Earth, colour pencils and ballpoint pen  drawing with fluorescent rainbow
This is one of my ecologist drawings, a drawing about the Earth, our blue planet, our home, the planet we must take care of, protect it and never forget about it.

Mademoiselle Pogany

Mademoiselle Pogany or the portrait of an alien, pencil drawing

Do you know Constantin Brancusi's Mademoiselle Pogany sculptures? I thing their big head and eyes resemble an alien and that's why I've made this pencil portrait drawing of an alien. I don't know if Brancusi has ever seen an alien or the modern images of alien with big head and dark eye were inspired from his sculptures but this similarity cannot be a coincidence

Loneliness and depression, coffee painting

This is my coffee painting of a depressive tree, lonely and depressed like the person who stands under it. This is a tree that tries to keep it's roots in the past being afraid of the future, almost broken by the wind of change that blows, a dark tree, dark like the sadness, a tree with no leafs and heavy branches that go down, a tree that looks like it's crying
