We recently connected with Lorgio Nim and have shared our conversation below.

Lorgio, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Learning the craft is often a unique journey from every creative – we’d love to hear about your journey and if knowing what you know now, you would have done anything differently to speed up the learning process.

Learning the process has been a slow, often tedious yet rewarding journey. I never took any formal lessons and do most of my learning intuitively and because of that, I cannot hold a technical conversation with, let’s say, an art major. I simply know what looks good and what colour combinations work but have a difficult time articulating the “why” because I lack the technical vocabulary that one gains through a formal eduaction in the arts.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

My name is Lorgio Nim. I am an artist, creative director/creative consultant. I work almost exclusively through digital paintings, however I often lend my eye to anything that requires a visual/aesthetic component. I create works for various people and companies, ranging from personal commissions that people want in their living room, to promotional pieces that are used on flyers and billboards. Regardless of what you want to use the art for, you can trust that I will create something that looks good. I make sure to listen to what the client wants, but am not afraid to go a different direction if I feel that it would improve on the client’s initial idea/intention…a trait that comes with confidence that took years to develop.

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

I want to create art that is timeless and meaningful. That is the reason I am selective about the commissions I take on. Anything I create has tot be able to convey or evoke some type of emotion; that is what makes it timeless.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

I had to unlearn letting other’s dicatace my worth. It heavily influenced how much I believed my art was worth. It was not until I got appraoched by a large movie production company that a friend set me aside and told me not to undersell myself, to aim high and shoot. And that is what I did, and it led to that being my biggest commission to date. I have not let anyone dictate how much my craft should cost, that decision is mine and mine alone.
