Scorpio, ruled by Pluto
This oil painting depicts the sign of Scorpio. It has a particularly symbolic nature, as it features three elements: a bare-chested woman with her back turned, suggesting introspection and reserve; perched on her shoulder is a violet-red scorpion, symbolizing venom, a tendency to hold grudges, instinctive power, and emotional intensity; in the background, the planet…

Eucalyptus tree
Impressionist style painting, painted live. A beautiful, colorful eucalyptus tree trunk and a red wheelbarrow were chosen to contrast with the green environment. It feels a loneliness but at the same time the footprint of man. I wanted to mark the brushstrokes that guided me the bark of the tree, accompanying them with color. The…
