Tell us what defines you as a person.I like to read between the lines and look at things from a different perspective.
How did you found out about deviantART and why did you join the community?I found DA by coincidence browsing the internet for art, looking for inspiration.
I have to say i never searched anywhere else since that day.
The amount of great works here is mindblowing.
When and how did you discover your passion for art?It was always present. I love everything that is painted drawn etc. traditional/digital, comics, animations, 3d art, but also movies and music.
I learned drawing at school. It was the only way to bear with the boredom that school was for me.
So school was at least good for something. ^^
What inspires you the most and when do you think your creativity is at its maximum?Faces inspire me. The tales their eyes are telling. But often i use a portrait to tell my own stories.
The most important thing for me is that people feel a connection when looking at my works.
What do you think you'd be doing if you hadn't chosen this path?I love being on 4 wheels.
Motorsport always was a dream of mine.
What do you think it's your most meaningful deviation and what makes it special? Does it have a story behind it?Per Aspera ad Astra. (latin for "A rough road leads to the stars.")
It kind of stands for my life and what i learned from the past.
You've got to go through some rough times to appreciate the good ones.
Never give up!
Do you have any insecurities regarding your art?I always have. I think they will never completely go away. And that's a good thing.
I'm never satisfied with my work and that makes me want to get better and work harder.
Did art ever helped you to deal with your life problems?Art always gave me a meaning in life and not only art but creativity in general.
Skateboarding for example, in my eyes is an artform, and it helped me a lot.
What makes art so great is that it doesn't want, need, judge... it just is.
What is the one thing you always wanted to do but never got a chance to?Go on a long travel and discover the world.
Drive on a race track.
A few words for our fellow artists?I want to thank everyone here on DA. The community is such a great source for inspiration and feedback. Keep it up!

SynapseDo you ever feel yourself swimming
Through the particles of the Universe...?
Drifting away into the abyss,
Dancing within the swirling cosmos,
A single instant of infinite fate;
As the fabric of life itself is intertwined,
Tangled from within...
In this disgusting place
Where nothing is sacred anymore,
No valiance left untouched;
Clawing and scratching my way out,
As I am pulled
From this reality into another...
I am insignificant,
And I am everything in and of itself,
You created a fairytale;
Illusion for me to escape to,
But you never knew I'd disappear
Dwelling forever within such bliss,
Never to return...
Synapses firing
Into a broken black hole comet,
Which has consumed
Every last star left in a braindead sky;
Drained from all the blind minds,
Those who are blinded, cannot see...
She couldn't fix broken heartsShe couldn't fix broken hearts
So she mended other things instead
The cracked bowl
The loose beads on a necklace
The safety-pin that had come off the brooch
But all it took was some thread and some glue
She learnt how to fix things because she broke them so often
But her heart she hadn't broken herself
It gaped open as she put together everything around her
Pouring out tears and tremors from a wound she could not find the bottom of
She hoped that holding shattered objects together would hold her heart in one piece, too
