Venusian World - Oil on canvas - 22 x 30 inches.
Venusian World by Christiano -
Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars. The planet Venus is the origin of all females that ever existed. Legend has it that it is impossible for any man to get to Venus. It's simply impossible.
An astronaut decided to go against this idea and chose to embark on a journey there. When he got close to his destination he was surrounded by the numerous Amazonians who were protecting the planet. They did not allow any man to come near at all. As a result of his arrival, the planet went into a state of alert and the all powerful queen of Venus took notice. She decided she had to use her power to stop him. So she boarded her ship and flew away from her Queendom to travel towards the man in order to stop him from coming any closer.
As she disembarked she could not help but feel an overwhelming sense of intrigue. Amazed by his daringness and courage, she felt the urge to speak to him. The Queen approached the man slowly, taking in every aspect of his being. When she finally spoke her voice was filled with authority. "I know who you are already...you're a painter and a very brave one at that. No one has ever gotten this close to us. Is it the beauty we possess that you want to see?"
The man nodded in acknowledgement.
"I give you credit for that," she said.
Reaching into the depths of his imagination he said, "Your planet is beyond imagination. It is resplendent with mountains of diamonds, transcendent gardens, gold all over, towers of infinite power, and colors that don't even exist."
"I'm sorry you won't be able to experience the beauty of our planet. I will however, in a limited amount of time, allow you to paint an image from afar of what you see and then you must go back. If you cross this line in an attempt to get closer...I will destroy you," she replied.
It is this very image you see before you that resulted from this voyage. Never to be repeated again.

LOVE is 1,2,3... - Oil on canvas - 5 x 7 inches. - Toronto 2009
LOVE is 1,2,3... by Christiano
The rose represents: LOVE
The chalk represents: TEACHING
The numbers 1 2 3, represents: INFINITY (our eternal nature)
Love is the most positive, strong and powerful emotion in the entire universe.
Chalk is the instrument of teachers. Everything starts with love and that is a process that is either being taught to us or we teach ourselves based on our choices.
Numbers are the only language that are universal, 1 2 3 is the start of it, and it keeps going and going... it increases throughout the infinite forever; just like the never ending journey of the Universe. I believe we are made of this, the combination of these two, WE ARE INFINITE BEINGS OF LOVE!
Therefore, we should teach and practice love eternally!

Melting Girls - Oil on canvas - 24 x 36 inches. Toronto 2009
Melting Girls by Christiano
Yin yang is complementary opposites that interact within a greater whole, as part of a dynamic system. Positive and negative, light and dark, good and evil, hot and cold, female and male, etc… Yin is female and yang is male.
As the two girls mould into each other you see that they are two parts of a whole. Although both are female and exhibiting homosexual behavior they represent two aspects of a single reality.
They are dependent on their opposing force but they flow through a natural cycle always seeking balance. They fit together as two parts of a whole, so they complement the duality of the universe. Each contains the seed of the other hence, the black spot of Yin in the white Yang and vice versa.
In a woman there is a bit of man inside of her and in a man there is a bit of woman inside of him… therefore the woman that exists inside of me is Lesbian!
