All start 12 years ago when I was searching for some new wallpapers and WinAmp skins to customize my brand new PC.
Without a doubt I've started to search, and I finally meet deviantART for the first time ...
And I didn't though a second this would totally change my life...

This image represent for me one of the first I've seen here on deviantART and it was also one of my first desktop wallpaper.

I've really love the colors and the space/scifi thingy with the touch of abstract..

Like this image, I've found a whole new universe, ART and passion.
I've browsed for two years (ok not everyday but for sure I was here almost once a week) looking for new wallpapers and skins.

In 2004, I've register here because after seeing this artwork I've wanted to start creating my own art...

Something like this, something powerful, trippy, with a lot of strength and colorful...

And here start the whole thing for me...
When I'm looking back, it was a very long way, full of joy/hate, passion, friends and family.
I've found a whole community and a real family behind this name : deviantART.

This artwork, for me, represent what kind community I've found here, full of love with a (heavy) touch of craziness.
what Zueuk did with this piece of art, kind change my way to see fractals and art.
I've found here the perfect balance between shapes and abstract and between bright/dark colors...

Time has flown and so do I ... I wanted to thanks deviantART for what it gives me during all those years and I've joined the DeviantMEET-Paris staff.
How crazy was I to think about joining them ! That was one of the best experience I've ever made.
Why ? Because first of all I've find there real friends, and specially I've found my wife there ! ZeldaDreams

Was I thinking : 'I'm going to get married with a deviant!" Hell no ! (too much silliness here

) but I do ! ( :woot: )

This is made by one of our friends I've found here on deviantART...
I love so much this Scifi/Photomanip artwork that I've bought her a print of this artwork which is now proudly standing at home.
A perfect balance between realistic elements and scifi, and really good use of shadows to bring the attention on what you need to see... I just love it !

And now 10 years later after SaTaNiA was born on deviantART... and now that deviantART 14yo...
I'm really happy to have found this community such a long time ago...
The power of ART is limitless and a community can really change yourself into something / someone better!
If you wanna feel the power of this community, just dive into it ! Dive as far as you can, be devote to it and you will see that you will find really something awesome.

I just wanna thanks you all the staff, ex staff member, dedicated deviants and friends.
For making what deviantART is now and for making me a better man..

Those 10 years with you was awesome and I hope to see 10 more years of awesomeness with all of you !
Take care of all of you !
I love you guys thanks for being awesome !
