interview with Loredana Guinicelli aka glitterdar

=Princess-of-Shadows:iconPrincess-of-Shadows: reports, May 27
♥ Most of us know her by `glitterdarkstar, specially by her mind blowing concepts explored in each piece. Each work is a mind teaser that make us look into ourselves and many times realize how wrong we are as a society. But her works have deep and very personal meanings that have helped her grow as a person as well. Today she is giving you the opportunity to know her a little better.





♥ First of all, let me congratulate you for the Senior Member Award, I know it's been some time but it must be a real honor. How does it feel to be recognized with such a respectful award in such a huge art site such as this one?

For me it was a surprise,a wonderful surprise. Anyway, it changes nothing if you are a senior or a simple member on dA cause we all have the same rights and duties, I think so. I continue to support art as I always did. It is my intent on dA.


♥ You have the incredible talent to absorb and have so many different styles and still keep the same unique and amazing language that defines you. May I ask, what inspires you to create such surreal/ conceptual/ intelligent pieces of art?

Inspiration is in the air! I find it all around, when I watch a movie or while I'm listening to a song, reading a book or simply watching ART. I improve my abilities looking at others with humility. Then I had a big fortune, to have a boyfriend who shares my passion for photography. I talk with `dibbi about our ideas and he was a great inspiration for me always.
But life, the ordinary one, is my mentor. What I do and see everyday. Streets, ideas, concepts, love.



♥ Along your gallery, in a deeper analysis we can see that your works are a lot about the "ego", the "personality" and even some psychological disorders, as well as phobias. Do these work as a therapy, or is it simply a language you want to develop and themes you personally like to explore?

I take photos since 2005. Before I have never considered to have some artistic attitude...Then I had a little camera and I started to shot myself. More I saw about me, more I learned. Photography was my teraphy , the cure for my insecurity. I always try to tell about me and my inner mood. Sometimes I found a cure for my troubles or doubts just looking at my creations.


♥ We can also find a couple of polaroids in your gallery. As a photographer, is it possible to choose between film and digital photography? Or do you believe each one has its advantages?

I think that the camera doesn't make the photographer but viceversa. So, a talented person will be talented in the same way if he uses a toy camera or an hasselblad one or simply a very cheaper digital or film camera. Anyhow the sensations you can feel while you develop and print a photo by your hown hands is so unique and intimate. The real way to make photography, I think. It is for a niche while digital is for everyone. In that I am a supporter of digital photography. Art is not for few people but for the whole humankind.






♥ I remember that in one of your recent works "rock'n'roll suicide" you were accused of doing porn, when we can't even see your body. We all understand how hard it is for an artist to hear such things. Would you like to tell us, how you felt about it, and how you ended up dealing with the situation?

I was very hurt about that comment. I found it vulgar and false, first of all because no part of my body was bare or nude. And also because that pic wanted to tell something very intimate and sentimental about my life. My passion for the music of David Bowie. I think that the pic doesn't contain anything of vulgar or allusive, for that I was more than offended. The will to misrepresent the photo in a way so bad has offended me so deeply and it has hurt my sensitivity.


♥ You've been on this site for a while, and we can all see how beautiful and amazing your work is, and how fast you've been growing in each piece. As a senior and highly respected member of dA, would you like to leave a message to other users, about Art, critics and mutual respect?

deviantART has been created for people with the same passion: the ART. People that want to share the things they have to say. It isn't important how much they are talented, the real important thing is how they have to say , not the "words" but the "stories" behind every word.
For that I never offend people if their works are not in my taste, and I always support people that in my opinion have a lot to say.
We can't judge no one because of their faves or pageviews and watchers, but we can use our eyes and heart to feel what they try to communicate with art.

Touching and very deeply interview. It shows a lot the inside of an amazing and wonderful artist. We always have to deal with some bad things in life but to accuse a person on an image to do something is crude and shows a lot disrespect for art. I wish we had more artist like you Loredana and the world would be a better place :hug:

Could it be that, I never had the chance to grow inside?
Could it be that, my habit is to find a place to hide?
Could it be that, sometimes I say things just to disagree?
Could it be that I'm only being me?
