Hi there, Liron here! And today I want to talk to you about my recent TV interview! (:
This was a spectacular way for me to close-up 2018 and start 2019.
In this episode I tell you a bit about how I get the interview, how it went down in the day of the interview, and also some of the interesting questions I was asked.
How I Got the Interview
So basically the show’s anchor contacted me via LinkedIn and asked if I would be interested in being interviewed for a show on The Christian Network.
We talked on the phone and set it up.
The funny thing is, she didn’t really reach me thanks to all the tons of content I publish, but rather accidentally found me on LinkedIn (haha!).
But I will say that just the previous month I significantly improved my LinkedIn page, companies listed and so on – so that may have contributed!
The Day of the Interview
I got there early, as asked to. But the schedule was postponed so I only started the interview about 1.5 hours after arriving!
So in the meantime I had enough time to build some nervousness. But there were a bunch of interesting people there and we talked!
Then they did my make up, put on a mic and we got started.
The Interview Itself
I’ll start by saying that Yael, the anchor, was super professional and nice. Was also impressed by the whole crew.
I thought I’d share some notable questions and the answers I gave.
Q: What is the role of artists in society?
A: I basically talked about how we are sensitive to things few people can notice or see. So our job is to remind people of beauty, and how it’s everywhere around us.
I also explained how people always comment that I make “boring” subjects interesting. And that’s part of it!
Q: Does your work comment on current social or political issues?
A: I said that I strive to make evergreen content that will always be able to inspire people to create with courage and passion. So I don’t really comment on current events or anything like that.
Q: Do you let your emotions onto the canvas?
A: Sometimes. I’m very logical in nature. My creative time is bound in a tight time slot, and within that I allow myself complete freedom. So depending on the mood I may just paint, or I may pour my heart and emotions onto the canvas.
Q: What is your dream project?
A: To which I told her about wanting to collaborate with a musician or rapper, and combine music and art in some way! (:
Conclusion
This was an amazing experience, and I’m so grateful to have had it. It gave me even more confidence in myself and my skills, and showed me I’m prepared for the next level, once it hits.
I will keep striving to become the best of the best! So happy to have you with me on this journey ^_^
Artist Corner
In this episode I talked about Hercules Brabazon Brabazon, an English watercolor and oil painter.
I absolutely love his works. He was known to be accomplished in the Turner (William Turner) watercolor style and approach.
But as with some other artists – what I really like is his oils.
