dA love for everyone! #121

                                    

Tell us what defines you as a person.
Lazy worker! I do my best to have on 25% of my time used for activity .


How did you find out about deviantART and why did you join the community?
First I came from Linux customization sites. My idea was to produce wallpapers mainly and some graphical tools for system and software interfaces.
As this activity begun to be a boring routine I slowly shifted to a more "artistic" one, mainly based on image processing and photography. I needed a more personal expression, I imagine. As some of my Linux friends told me about this site (and I will always thank them for that) I came here and found it was a great place to share and be inspired ! I was really impressed too by many artists here. So, a great place to be, for sure.


When and how did you discover your passion for art?
Art always had an important place in my life. My sister is a very good abstract painter and I always loved modern art and photography. My father also was a photography lover. And I always loved music too since I was a kid.
Though I won't use the word passion in any activity of my life. I only used this word for temporary state about some person around me . I love creating things, even if they are perfectly useless. As long as it is enjoyed by some, I'm fine



What inspires you the most and when do you think your creativity is at its maximum?
I really don't know. The process is quite erratic. I'm only sure I don't create during my deep sleep periods . For inspiration also, sometimes it's the way others show me things that makes my mind move. And sometimes it's explicitly on demand or on ideas given by others that I try en experiment new things. My best example is about who has inspired many deviants here about kaleidoscopic artworks (and abstract too). have also inspired me a lot, especially about b&w art and he helped me express some thoughts that were hidden too.
But there are many others and it's always moving.


What do you think you'd be doing if you hadn't chosen this path?
Well, I haven't chosen this path more than another at this point. I think I will only be legitimate to think so when I'm a professional, not before. For the moment I like creating images as a hobby and participate to projects around with images in my real life. But, to me, it's not really a significant choice as long as it's not my main activity and my way of life. What I'd say is that I'm involved in it and I like that.


What do you think it's your most meaningful deviation and what makes it special? Does it have a story behind it?
I'm convinced that watchers are more involved than me in the meaning of my deviations ... Well, If I have to choose though, I'd say that one, in the most recent:  babyface.

It has many levels of thoughts to me. It represents the violence of our world and the way it burns naiveness and our hopes from the beginning of our life. A very sad and deep expression of despair. I'm not like that in real life, but I feel that inside all the time. So it's an expression of one of my hidden parts .



Do you have any insecurities regarding your art?
Always or never. I have no certitude, even I don't know if it's art. I only know I like to share, especially when it's sharing thoughts and moods with others.


Did art ever helped you to deal with your life problems?
It helps, clearly. It's often a catharsis. Especially when it makes me laugh .
I love to be surprised too, it's a kind of liberation each time.


What is the one thing you always wanted to do but never got a chance to?
This material life is so limited anyway. I never felt frustrated (that sounds strange but it's true). I've been angry sometimes, but never felt the need of something that was not a part of my life. I always felt like it was useless... in fact I never felt anything significant about that subject. Maybe I'm mad. Perhaps it's because I always love my dreams. To me, dreams are better than anything on this earth so I let them stay dreams and express them or part of them from time to time.



A few words for our fellow artists?
I love them. Keep giving !
