Hi

Suddenly I've felt a flow of nostalgia and visited my page here. I've remembered how I wrote and discovered many very important things here, on dA! Those were very good times. But we have our rights and strength to make current days good, too. That is what mostly important, I think, may be what I learned more that other. So, who is still passing by here? What are you doing these days? I'd like so much to know.
What for me, I am trying to find some new themes in my art. I used to live with it so many years that it became almost everyday process. But someday you kind of awake from your everyday business and think: what also could I do here? may be there're some new ideas to invent or to express!

btw, Merry Christmas if you celebrate! Holidays
In Russia people mostly celebrate at Jan, 7th. But I love to remember my visit to the relatives at the end of December and they celebrated this holiday. They sang Christmas carols in Hungarian and German all the day. And in evening many people  were gathered in the house for the dinner and they told so many family stories. Since then I felt that all these traditions are very precious for me.
But I wanted to say another thing. I noticed again that feeling of fresh aspiration to do art, when everything seems interesting and new, and you want to try, to experiment, to search. And to find another people' wonderful ideas, images, and moreover, their persons, their life, expressed in photos or art. I always preferred not very complicated (technically) shoots but experimental ones, which could be executed with simple but unusual effects, in usual habitat but from odd point of view. I loved to discover those worlds in the corners of my room, etc. And now I feel to continue those investigations again. I was lucky someday and it was easy to catch all necessary effects, to catch some ghosts or to embody those imaginary persons.
But all those investigations became slightly out of date. It seems I need to explore myself again. 
In these moments I went to dA and I'm glad to see this world still exist! This world of forever young minds which love to play, to dress up, to fool around and to be serious, to express their passions and complex philosophical thoughts.

  • How long have you been on DeviantArt?

    It is actually 10 years. I registered here in April 2005, but started to use site and to submit my works in August

  • What does your username mean?

    It means "my invention, trick" in french and taken from Mylene Farmer song "California". I used to listen to her then. And when I created my account, those words were stuck in my head. I thought they mean everything about my imaginary world :)

  • Describe yourself in three words.

    Ingenious, merry, passionate

  • Are you left or right handed?

    Right. But I learned to write by left hand, too

  • What was your first deviation?

    I think it's Mirror:

     

  • What is your favourite type of art to create?

    Drawing quite rather than photography, but to make photo was always more simple and faster ;)

  • If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?

    Music performing, acting

  • What was your first favourite?

    Yes, I remember this work and it was really one of the first here that affected me:


  • What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?

    Portraits

  • Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?

    Hmm, so many :) But the most striking from the first days was Natalie Shau, I think

  • If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?

    It's personal ;)

  • How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?

    I got acquainted with different people from here. Some of them I've met, with other we are in contact now... And some of them were just here, growing up along with me. Not a direct impact but I learned much on other's works and life.

  • What are your preferred tools to create art?

    My mind, other is optional

  • What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?

    New visited places, nature, beautiful architecture are good for thinking. And home is for making it real

  • What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?

    I think it's time when I started to submit here and to investigate other's creativity fields. And how I tried to make my own world of art

I feel very difficult now. I've just seen how much false, exaggerated things are in the modern society. Almost all people and establishments are venal and simply fake. I've just thought about opportunities of some business or elaboration. It's even not enough to become a soulless dealer. I am able to make some deals when there's a real opportunity to talk with a person on equal terms. When someone really wants to think and to appreciate! But oh my god, it's such a big honor for someone to think about you and your business... Everyone searches only a simple profit, a simplicity. I hate this ^^; I don't understand that exaggerated modern system of relations and hierarchy... I still can't make any advantages of this... Why people made everything so unnatural, do they feel happy this way? Just can't understand, what kind of good it can bring... how to use all of these and bring under.
