I wanted one of my favorite conceptual artists to be in this series of interviews for PhotoManipulation month, but I wasn't quite sure what to ask. I wanted to know more concerning how he comes up with the concepts behind his deviations, which run from conceptual, surreal, and dark.  I also wanted to know his thoughts on conceptual art.  

This is a short interview, but I hope it opens up the world of :devcrille50: for you.

:bulletpink:Q. Can you tell us what are your thought process for creating images.

I don't have much of a thought process when I do manipulations. I often scroll trough the stock images section here on DA and see a object, model, or whatever I like and a idea pops up in my head. Sometimes a idea comes from a movie or another work from another work I've seen.

I like to keep my work fairly simple for two reasons; I like simplicity and  I'm not an expert on photoshop. So I think it's better to put the power to contrasts between light and shadow to get more drama in the picture.


:bulletpink: Q. What is Dark Art to you?

For me, dark art is something scary or mysterious, not directly horror just something before the very horror. It can be about the future that you don't know anything about. Simply, thoughts that's scare you a bit.

It doesn't matter if the picture is bright or dark or colorful, for me it can be dark anyway.


:bulletpink: One more thing. Earlier this year I had asked :devcrille50: for his definition of conceptual art. His answer:

I'm not quite sure if I know what conceptual art is really. If I think logically about it, for me, it should be a specific thing, person or whatever that has other things around it, associated to each other. One specific object surrounded with similar more diffuse objects. If you understand how I mean.



Thank you :devcrille50: for the interview. Below are the selection of the favorite deviations in his gallery:
