Interview with Aegina

`Princess-of-Shadows:iconPrincess-of-Shadows: reports, June 9, 2008
*aegina has been away from dA for one year and a half, I remember I follow her work almost since the very beginning and it has always fascinated me. I am so happy she is back that I decided to ask her a few questions I want to share with you guys, so you too can know about her beautiful art, inspirations and thoughts about the main differences she notices after such a long time away.





♥ I must begin with the obvious. you have been away from dA for one and a half years. I'm sure I'm not the only one to say that I missed you and your Art. Now tell us, how does it feel to be back? Is there something you already noticed different in the community ( people and works )?

dA is a great community for sharing art with other people and getting feedback about how you might improve your work.
I feel lucky to be a part of this community. Even though there are a lot of pretentious and hypocritical people STILL around here and just because of that some great artists stop creating/sharing their art… I'm so happy to see the whole improvement of the people I admire. What particularly attracted my attention was; there are so many new people who create such nice works, and I hope I can watch their progress day by day... It's really good to be back.


♥ Your works have a natural ethereal twist, it's very beautiful and magical. What can we expect from your new works? Such a long time, changes a person with life experiences. Do you think you're gonna walk on a different path of art from now on?

I am usually inspired by music. I can't listen to any song which is not related to my self identity & inner world.
When I was distant from dA, my music taste didn't change but I start to listen more peaceful songs, mostly instrumental, so there were no lyrics… But there is always a melody which tells a story and takes you far away from the present-day world. For example; my work Serenity
is way too different from the other works of mine. I was needing some peace in my life, so I made that work.
I feel myself in it. I was always creating works which are real, like an expression of what I've been going through. So this is new for me to create something which I NEEDED. But I don't think that I would walk on a different way other than I used to, but some labyrinths could come across to my way.. ;)



♥ I've noticed that in some of your artworks, the model appears turning her back on the viewer. Does this have a special meaning?

Frankly I realized it when you ask me. :blush: It's like a symbol of being lovelorn, or leaving a person or even everything behind. I usually start making my manipulations with background image, after I can visualise the concept in my mind, then I start looking for a model...and so on.


♥ In most of your works, you write a personal note on the description. And I must say you would be an amazing poet/ writer. Are these "messages in a bottle", thrown away to get rid of those emotions, or are they something to remember and learn from?

Actually there are only 4 or 5 writings that belong to me, my English is not that well to write something poetic, I mean, it's really hard to translate… Since my mother tongue is Turkish. But what I can share with my writings, is that they are all coming from the bottom of my heart & mind. I wrote them when I was full of feelings and when I was most sensitive.
I never felt like I was thrown away, and in fact it was make those feelings permanent when I wrote them. Even if I would try to isolate those things in my mind, writing them is making it impossible. So they are just coming from a moment of lunacy.



Loufi Lane is one of your works that I find most interesting, maybe because it's so metaphorical and symbolic. It's been a while since you've submitted it, but would you like to tell us a bit about it? What were you trying to express?


Loufi Lane's story is really weird for me. I had a dream...in my dream, I was lost in a very eerie place, I was not able to see or hear anything, but interestingly I can see the things by their smell. There was only one thing that I could not smell, and it was a creature
which looked like a snake...I was conscious about his intention, and submissively waiting for his bite... But he could never succeed in catching me. Then there was someone who is more mighty and heroic than that evil serpent. I was flowing from a river to another… Then I was waking up from my dream, and started texting a message to a friend of mine; ''My name is Loufi Lane and I am under his protection.'' Then she responded; ''Rise and shine, you must come back.'' Then I woke up, and wrote down everything so I would not forget. So I made Loufi Lane
and Serpent's Desire. For me, they are the most important ones in my gallery so far. And I'm really glad to hear that it is interesting for you too. By the way, I really had no idea about what Loufi Lane means, I saw that name in my dream for the first time and memorized it. I love it.


♥ You seem to be greatly inspired by music. What else inspires you, not only for art but in life?

I'm a person who says ''Music is my boyfriend'' :P I can't think of a life without music, as a person who like to dream a lot, I can say that music is a great way to reach your inner world. For my art, except music, I could only say '';pain inspires.'' I can talk like a very elegiac girl sometimes, yes. :P Other than that, I'm kinda obsessed with the myth and ancient/dark ages… I even remember that I was dreaming about being a Dryad. (Dyrads are tree nymphs and they can marry
with humans.) There's a lot of things in my life that inspire me that are too complicated to put into words.
