We’re looking forward to introducing you to Georgina M. Cox. Check out our conversation below.
Hi Georgina M., thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to share your story, experiences and insights with our readers. Let’s jump right in with an interesting one: Would YOU hire you? Why or why not?
Yes, I’d hire me, mostly because I care a lot about what I do, I work hard, and I’m always trying to push my skills further. I’m reliable, and I take my art seriously, sometimes a bit too seriously, because I overthink absolutely everything. That’s probably the only reason I wouldn’t hire me – I can turn a tiny decision into a whole internal debate. But overall, I show up, I put the work in, and I genuinely love what I create, so I think I’m worth hiring.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Georgina M. Cox, a UK-based digital artist working in a Baroque-meets-Romanticist style. I started as a traditional artist and have spent almost five years teaching myself digital painting. My work focuses on emotion, atmosphere, and storytelling through light, often with darker, gothic or symbolic themes. I’m currently building my art shop/brand “Obliviora,” which is still a work in progress, but it’s becoming a space for my more experimental, narrative-driven pieces. Alongside my art, I also write stories and work on several illustrated novels and graphic projects. Creativity has always been my way of making sense of things, so everything I create, whether it’s a painting or a piece of fiction, aims to make people feel something real.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
Before the world told me who I had to be, I was just a kid who loved creating things without overthinking them. I drew constantly, built little worlds in my head, and followed whatever idea felt exciting in the moment. I didn’t worry about being “good” or “successful” – I just made art because it felt natural. That version of me was curious, imaginative, and completely unbothered by expectations. In a way, I’m trying to find my way back to her now: the version of me who created out of instinct, not fear of judgement.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering taught me something success never could: patience with myself. When things are hard, you learn to slow down, listen to your own needs, and rebuild your confidence piece by piece. Success is great, but it doesn’t teach you how to stay standing when everything feels uncertain. Struggle did. It showed me that growth isn’t always pretty, sometimes it’s messy, slow, and uncomfortable, but it’s also where you learn what you’re actually capable of. My art wouldn’t be what it is without those harder moments; they taught me resilience, honesty, and how to create from a place that feels real.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What do you believe is true but cannot prove?
I believe that every creative person is shaped by something they can’t quite explain, whether it’s a feeling, a memory, or a kind of instinct that pushes them toward the work they’re meant to make. I can’t prove it, but I’ve always felt that creativity isn’t random; it’s something we’re quietly guided by, even when we don’t realise it. Some ideas just find you at the right time, and some parts of you grow in ways you never expected. It’s not scientific, but I believe it’s true.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What do you think people will most misunderstand about your legacy?
I think people might misunderstand my legacy as being purely about the dark, dramatic themes in my art. But really, what I hope to leave behind is the idea that creativity can be a safe place – a way of rebuilding yourself, exploring identity, and turning difficult emotions into something meaningful. My work may look intense on the surface, but it comes from a genuine love of storytelling and expression. If anything, I want my legacy to show that anyone can shape their own voice, even if it takes time, mistakes, and a lot of experimenting. It’s less about being “dark” and more about being honest.
