Sappho's rose, oil on canvas painting

F Zeus chose us a King of the flowers in his mirth,

He would call to the rose, and would royally crown it;

For the rose, ho, the rose! is the grace of the earth,

Is the light of the plants that are growing upon it!

For the rose, ho, the rose! is the eye of the flowers,

Is the blush of the meadows that feel themselves fair,

Is the lightning of beauty that strikes through the bowers

On pale lovers that sit in the glow unaware.

Ho, the rose breathes of love! ho, the rose lifts the cup

To the red lips of Cypris invoked for a guest!

Ho, the rose having curled its sweet leaves for the world

Takes delight in the motion its petals keep up,

As they laugh to the wind as it laughs from the west.

This poem Sappho has wrote about the rose, the king of the flowers as she said has inspired me to make the oil on canvas painting above and the drawing below.

This is how I imagine Sappho, a beautiful woman with white soft skin and long dark hair, holding a rose in her hand, being inspired by the delicate beauty of the flower, an image of grace, beauty and femininity.

Ichthyostega

This is my newest painting of an ichthyostega in a carboniferous forest with sigillaria and lepidodendron trees. I've made this painting during the event Expo Bazar Art in Bucharest's old city center

The tree of life

This is the tree of life, my newest ball point pen drawing. It's a drawing about life emerging like a tree with it's roots on a sphere, the Earth, sucking it's resources to feed the children that grow like fruits on it's branches

Complementarity or the cosmic love between two soulmates

This painting is about love, the love we are all looking for and dreaming of, the pure love between two soulmates, the cosmic love that can make the Earth seem smaller.

A sculpture russians would probably ban

I am glad I am not living in Russia where this beautiful artwork would be considered offensive according to their gay propaganda law but even here in Romania there are many people who are to indoctrinated by orthodoxy to see the beauty in every artwork. As Cicero said "When you hear the weapons the muses are quiet" and this is what is happening in Russia where art is censored. This is not my creation but I have many paintings on this subject and many paintings of beautiful naked women appreciated by open minded people and hated by conservative christians. This object can be seen in Bucharest's old city center at the Expo Bazar Art fair, until the end of september.

New morula painting

My painting of an embryo in the morulatio stage has been sold so I've made a new one. In the image below there is the old morula painting, sold in Bucharest's old city center during Expo Bazar Art.
