We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Goldi Gold a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Goldi, appreciate you joining us today. Do you feel you or your work has ever been misunderstood or mischaracterized? If so, tell us the story and how/why it happened and if there are any interesting learnings or insights you took from the experience?

Sometimes it can feel like that. I usually don’t take it personal. At the end of the day it’s part of my job as a artist to give people some notion of who i am as a person and artist. Especially if they’re supporting me by buying my art. But at the same time I’m some what of a guarded person. So i can tell you just enough to get my point across and some people want to know it all. And I get it. But me being who I am it can easily reflect a lack of passion or even interest with the situation when I’m actually fully involved. But I’ve been working on that and I’m doing better with it instead of me just saying “word” after a long conversation pertain to me or my art. I engage more to a moderate extent of course. hahaha

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Honestly, i just create colorful informative artwork. That’s always been the goal once i really started getting knee deep in this art game. some people hire me for what i do creatively, art wise. Or just something in my style. Maybe they want something that feels like their company or brand with the energy I project through my art stile. Some people get it. Some people don’t. Some people want your style but dictate everything on how they want it to look. Well Mr. or Mrs. Client. That’s not in my style you claim you wanted. Hahaha. I do my part with everything when i can. Being in art shows, selling merch, murals, or personal work. People really just like to know or see you creating. That do create opportunities on all levels and build successful relationships for the future.

Can you share your view on NFTs? (Note: this is for education/entertainment purposes only, readers should not construe this as advice)

Sheeesh! NFTs got artist paid. Especially in the early stages. I enjoy being a part of the movement because you had to be consistent daily at all hours. The community established with the artist was pretty dope. I was part of a community of artist all from other countries. How i became part of it? who knows! hahaha. But it was dope supporting each other. I sold a few NFTs. which introduced me to cyrpto currency and cold wallets. Plus my fellow artist Mister Soul gave me a crash course about all crypto currency. Once NFTs got popular by well known people. down the drain it goes as usual. but it was a fun experience for sure.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

Beside having a regular job (Blue collar). I have RA and sheeesh! during that time my joints swell up or end up sore in random areas. So When my handa swell up. it’s painful and i can’t even close my hands, I was getting ready for a show with multiple pieces and I was drawing with extra painful swole hands. My fingers was like fat chopsticks trying to pick up one piece of rice at one time. So drawing and painting was a hell of a task. I got it all done and on time. I usually cherish those moments. Because if i can create in that particular state. when i’m 100 percent I’m a true problem.
