Having known Nisha Goel for a long time now, we decided to probe a little more into the mind and thoughts of this fascinating person. Digital options have taken over the world by storm. The hard copy seems to have vanished from the scene. Does the paper and a drawing hold any charm?
Q. It is easy and cheap to take print outs and frame them. Why should I hire an artist?
Ans. An artist gives a personal touch. Whenever you want feeling and emotions, an artist is a better choice over a digital medium like camera pictures.
With regards to cost factor, it is a personal preference. As a woman I do makeup very often. So if I need a personalized pampering, I go for the 10k package while other times if it is just the basics, then I choose the 2k one.
Q. What is your most common complaint with clients, if there is any?
Ans. Yes, the costing. If I am in the market as a buyer, I never negotiate. In fact, I don’t like someone offering me a discount. Because there is always this suspicion that a different discount was offered to someone else.
Q. Each artist has a unique way of approaching a client’s work? How do you make it right?
Ans. I have the advantage of being a teacher. While doing work for a client, I see it from my own perspective, what will be my way of looking at it. I approach my students the same way, putting myself in their shoes.
Let me give an example. That might answer your first question too. A client came to me with a digital print which did not come as he wanted. This time I decided to highlight some features which were lacking in the digital copy. The final outcome made him so happy and he mentioned that this is what exactly he wanted but did not get it in the digital copy.
So my secret to approach a client work is not to ask too many questions and interpret on my own. This is my strength.
Q. There will be times when you feel low. What do you do to come out of such moments and situations?
Ans. Anytime things are not right, I go back to my routine. Once I start doing things my way, all problems go away and the pieces fall in place.
In fact, long time back I realized that I do not need to relax the way normally people do. For me, working is the best form of relaxation.
Q. Any plans for the future?
Ans. I am a person of the present. So no plans for the future.
However, right now I want to grow as an entrepreneur and artist. For me art is all about putting thoughts and emotions on paper. And that is what makes me happiest.
Post Script
It is not too many time we get a peep into the mind of an artist. These are highly creative people and hard working at the same time. They follow a different routine than the one we are accustomed to. These are also the people who bring in joy in our lives by spending hours together in front of the canvas.
A comment or a like if you appreciate their work will go a long way to encourage them and their creativity.
