Interviewed artist: KyouKaraa

Tell us what defines you as a person.

Hmm... This is a really good question 'cause I think that people might see you in another shape as you see yourself so I'm referring to what I and my friends agree on. I'm a really shy person so it's possible for me to run away from people I do like, this kind of stuff is going to happen all time. But I can get ambitious too when it comes to art or other projects (friends always give me this advice).

How did you find out about deviantART and why did you join the community?

Once I joined another community and meet one of my best friends there, she showed me deviantART a few months before I joined DA myself, while I was amazed by the amount of really good artists. I got inspired to continue my drawings and post them here s well to get critic and keep improving, since back then I was completely new to digital art and really bad on it.

When and how did you discover your passion for art?

Already when I was little I loved music and art, but I stopped at the age of 11 (shouldn't ;o

and discovered art again in the age of 16. Since then my passion grows with each day and for me art even I don't post all stuff like landscapes here, are calming and relaxing for me, you can express yourself and express your feelings just by using colors.

What inspires you the most and when do you think your creativity is at its maximum?

Like most artists would say at this point - daily things. I think the most productive ideas would come when you don't think of it. Pressure sometimes can give you a good idea as well bust mostly destroys it... T^T. For me landscapes or colors are the best source for ideas.

What do you think you'd be doing if you hadn't chosen this path?

I really don't know since I always have been doing something on this path. But I guess I would do something really boring that would be no fun to do like just... I really don't know. Art and music always have been my passion, though I never really learned how to play an instrument (even if I have 3 instruments), I still love to listen to good music all time. It's connected to my drawings.

What do you think it's your most meaningful deviation and what makes it special? Does it have a story behind it?

There are three 'cause they are connected to each other telling the same story or you could say they share one feeling.
A forever moment is the first one, it starts with the story of falling in love with someone and even you've never told your feelings you've treasured each moments like they will stay forever.

Yume continues this story, but for now the moment comes where it's darken and you think everything was a dream, suddenly this person no longer is in your life (or you can say the contact is broken). You seek for the happy moments like in a dream.

Sunset Wait is the last part of this story, you wait for this person to return or you can say you wait for this moments to come back and continue, even if you think this may never happen again... But you still don't want to give up.

Do you have any insecurities regarding your art?

Sure! I think everyone has insecurities about their art I'm not different I would even say that I am really insecure and rarely leaving my comfort zone 'cause I'm scared to do mistakes..Though this would even help me to get better I am to scared of or just scrap the ideas. There is this Popular "artist post something and things it's good for a few seconds- "syndrome" and after this seconds you just see mistakes in your art and I am really critical maybe also would like to delete most stuff of my gallery, but I don't the reason is you can see if you've improved or not. I never really felt like improving... hehe

Did art ever helped you to deal with your life problems?

I think art always has a story behind it if it's an original piece of the artist. It can show the true feelings even if they are hidden you can say art is really therapeutic to me. Sometimes I post stuff with a hidden message or a feeling/mood I want to convert to a drawing. You can say art can save your soul.

What is the one thing you always wanted to do but never got a chance to?

There are many things like being able to play many instruments but my biggest dream is to travel the world, see different cultures and everything!

A few words for our fellow artists?

Do whatever you love and don't let your tonnage being forbidden or your dream by saying "you will never reach it" mostly everything is possible as long as you really do love it!

Literature Feature

following the north stari.
stars formed sheep
of which she softly
counted to herself,
trying to sleep on
her way to where you
were waiting for her;
the bus made its
way into darkness,
yet she never doubted
that the sun would
awake her in her new
place of belonging.
ii.
only a backpack full
of personal belongings
needed to survive:
about $15, a day's
worth of clothes, your
photograph, and your
handwritten letters;
distance always did
make the heart fonder,
and she never doubted
that destiny would be
the map in her heart,
leading her straight
to you.
iii.
it had been 15 years
since you two were
high school prom king
and queen, 10 [years]
since you were forced to
marry another, and 5 [years]
since your parents passed.
she had a gut feeling
that soul-mates existed and
your cursive carried all
former and elementary emotions
she remembered from the past;
it was time to reconnect
and rediscovery
true love,
true happiness. Puzzle PiecesWe fit
together
like a puzzle
solved
from missing pieces.:thumb420134811:
Irisesso strange; a soul is not a mirror,
but reflects as if the sky was wrapped
around it like a skin-
i see you in me, and you in turn have found
the seedlings of your younger branches
in my richer earth- and yet the shades are not the same:
you are something altogether solid, bold,
vibrant under sunlight and closing soft under the moon;
sweet invisible veins- not red after all, but similar in depth.
i do not know if i will ever quite catch
the mysteries of your colour;
perhaps the nuance is past perception-
maybe you're far beyond the rainbow:
my eyes have their own hues,
and yours blur beneath those lenses
like the oils of an iridescent sphere;
not wholly yours,
not mine,
but still perceived in glimpses
of light,
dancing between the lines
of visibility,
a
slowly
flickering
self.
