Interview with mmenathalie

=Princess-of-Shadows:iconPrincess-of-Shadows: reports, July 12
Interview with =mmenathalie

A very dear friend of mine and a truly talented and gifted artist. Nathalie de Lane has the most amazing life story that is shared and cherished throughout her art, and each of her pieces is a valuable lesson to us all. I'd like you to meet and know what a wonderful person she is.




♥ First of all, I'd like to congratulate you in public for the huge growth and development your art has been through. You just went from a fantasy/ magical artist and grew into something that explores a more sensual artistic side of a woman in such a beautiful classical way. What led you to this change?

First, thank you so much for your nice words. (;
A change about you said I usually call a natural way of developing of each artist. One day you open your eyes and you realize you can mend something, change something and you know that it is very needy and correctly with development of you alone. I believe that true artist, as each human, has a several stages of his life, I talk about artistic life of course. This is only an another stage of my artistic life. I don't know what I'll be doing tomorrow or in a week, month, year... but I know I'm changing... now, from minute to minute, as a human and my work is changing also. That's why I don't believe in work of artist who always creates the same things. His is only a person with workshop for me. People are changing... they might stabilize their style, but not an internal meaning of art.

I've always been a lover of fantasy. I grew up with a lot of fantasy stories. My favourite fantasy book, which inspires me all time is a story of C.S.Lewis "The Chronicles of Narnia". I had (and I still have as well) a big wardrobe at house. And perhaps you'll be laughing, but I still believe in a winter way behind the door... This is something which stayed in me and will stay for the rest of my life, something which helps me to stay a child. But as I mentioned, I'm changing, I'm not a child in some ways, so I grow as a woman, I feel as a woman, so my work has been changed. Until when? I don't know...



♥ On a more personal note: we all know how people can be mean and overly critic towards other's art. I mean in some of your latest works you are nude, (as an ode to the woman's body and feminity in ememberance of the renaissance classics I believe ). However not everyone sees it this way.. Doesn't it scare you that because of this change in your art, people will see you differently?

I'm not afraid. God didn't create us with pans and bras. I don't understand why people are ashamed to show them naked. It's something such natural like orange colour of orange. I guess the main reason of their shame is a conviction that their body isn't perfect. But who has?
I also wasn't afraid of people's reaction on my different arts. I belong to this kind of human, who loves to suprise others. And you're right.
I'm a lover of classical themes and styles in art, so be sure I won't show a porn kind of photos. (; But if somebody criticizes work only because a model is naked, it shows only his lack of knowledge and culture. Human body is saint for me and I treat it as a sanctity.
People should treat it this way also, because body is a temple of soul.



♥ You are one of the few people I personally know that are able to explore melancholic feelings with such twists of hope and magic, as we often see this kind of emotions associated with a more "dark art". Do you consider yourself to be a positive person who simply reflects that in her art?

Generally I'm a very positive person. My mind if always full of hope and light and I want to share my hope with everyone through my arts for example. It grew in me with fantasy worlds from my childhood with belief that whole our world is a one, pure magic. But my soul is melancholy. This is a part of me which helps me with creating arts and lets me look in a depths of human soul. Sometimes I'm suprised how many deviants show sadness and melancholy in dark category. Dark world, dark places and all the rest dark things are very dangerous, bad and dark and it has nothing to do with human melancholy, sadness etc. I laugh often with words: "Do you really create dark arts? Really? Darkness is soo dark. If you met a darkness, you would run so quickly as light can." I don't feel to be dark. I'm a good, bright person. Each human has a dark side, I have also, but darkness is a darkness - it always made our world evil. So why should we use it? It isn't needed. It won't help us with problems and sadness. I prefer to be fair and true with me, so I don't cheat myself that creating darkness is properly with my emotions. It isn't.

♥ On a previous interview I asked someone what was the most inspiring time of the day. Along the path of art you've been following we can clearly see many allusions to autumn landscapes, tell us what exactly you find so fascinating about it.

Yes, I love autumn and winter. There are the most inspiring seasons to me. Whirling leaves, snow roll before my eyes many magic worlds, visions... I can stand in wintery weather many hours and think, dream, imagine so many things. I just feel magic. Each thing which can brings me magic is inspiring. Autumn and winter landscapes have many magic. More than summer for example. I cannot explain it clearly. It is like your hearts beats faster and your soul is being filled up with hope and melancholy as the same.

I love this feeling. I have more power to work then and I feel my work is connected with nature and nature is my mother. So I we can call it a full harmony.




♥ In your gallery we can see so many different feelings and emotions, it's just likea fresh shower on a hot summer day. Your gallery
always brings such great emotions of strength and power. Is there anything that particularly inspires you to bring us these amazing messages?


Yes, there's a one thing... needed creating world more beautiful. My own, little world also. The second... realize myself, express myself and
show myself the way I usually cannot show every day. Show to others that human is a very great, mysterious and diverse creature. Just like I am.


♥ As someone who knows you in a more personal level, I know that you've been struggling on dA to make this a more fair and grown up art community. Is there any particular message you'd like to leave to the ones who will read this interview?

Yes, I do. As a part of this community, I have a natural feeling to care about others in this big, artistic world. Dear people... dear artist who
reads this interview. No matter what you think about me, but remember... You are the artist. We are born as artists and we are die... as artists
or noughts. This is your choice whom you will be. Being artist - is being someone who is above other people - who leads their souls. Artists stand closest to God, they read from His mouth and they give a birth to His children. That's the way artists should be. In other way... we are nobody. Use your artistic law to create world beautiful.
