GEORGE ROSALY
Background
George Rosaly, a visual and digital artist, shares his journey in the art world. He discovered his passion for art while drawing the Titanic as a child and later pursued a career in teaching.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, his students encouraged him to follow his own dreams, leading him to open his own art business. George's art is inspired by his time in Los Angeles and he has exhibited his work at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
He emphasizes the importance of creating meaningful and empowering art that connects with the audience.
“I want them [his pieces of artwork] to be meaningful so that when people see them on their walls, they know it's an investment to themselves and what that meaning was.”
Q&A
What is your goal with your art and what motivates you?
My goal is to evoke feelings of “empowerment, love, unity, hope, and eternity”. From my inspired bohemian deserts to cloudy awakenings to the power of optimism, my designs are full of funk and inspiration. Making it a nice way to bring retro or pop art vibes to your space but also reflecting interest in pop culture with surrealism.
What projects are you currently working on or what's next for you?
I’m currently working for more in-person art shows, pop ups or even a physical space, which offers a unique opportunity for me to connect with potential collectors and showcase my artwork in a way that simply cannot be replicated through digital means. When meeting with collectors face-to-face, I have the opportunity to share my story and inspiration behind each piece, building a deeper emotional connection between me and the buyer.
What other hobbies do you have?
My hobbies are reading books and working out. Along with this, I also like cooking. I also created a mini gym in my workspace, which helps me create new ideas. Also, taking walks or traveling to explore new places.
What advice would you give to a younger version of yourself?
I would tell my younger self… “It’s going to be better than you think. So just hang on…”
Who / what are your biggest creative influences?
Childhood memories and experiences, movies, environment, family, music, pop culture, objects, and nature are just a few indicators that trigger my artistic imagination and inspiration to start designing. In general, I’m influenced by life.
