Meet Alina Poloboc

We recently connected with Alina Poloboc and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Alina , really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?
A few years ago, I discovered my purpose when I gained a clear understanding of what truly makes me happy and the direction I want to take in life. I am dedicated to continuous self-discovery, constantly experimenting and embracing new experiences to define my personality and know myself better. Upon finding the ideal job that brings fulfillment, I began dreaming with my eyes wide open, setting ambitious goals and objectives for my career.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
For the past decade, I have immersed myself in the world of art and painting, dedicating my heart and soul to this profession. I made a conscious decision to pursue it wholeheartedly when I realized it brought me unparalleled joy, allowing me to dream with eyes wide open.

The allure of painting lies in its perpetual excitement—never a dull moment. I revel in the uncertainty of each canvas, uncertain of the inspiration that will guide my next piece or the palette of colors I’ll employ. However, what I cherish most in my craft is the culmination of a painting. The climax of uncertainty unfolds, and the result is always a surprise, adding to the thrill.

Being an artist is more than a profession to me; it’s a vocation I couldn’t exchange for any other. The love for freedom, the embrace of fantasy, and the fascination with the unknown define my journey as an artist.

Every color on my palette becomes an expression of my emotions, and each line and texture on canvas is a faithful reproduction of the moments life guides me through. I count myself fortunate to embrace the full spectrum of what art graciously offers me.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Work, rest and LOVE.

The most valuable counsel I can offer is to refrain from spending time on endeavors that don’t bring fulfillment. Authenticity and optimism should be your guiding principles; resist the temptation to emulate others. Focus on honing your unique strengths, and with dedication, you’ll eventually excel beyond measure.

Life is a precious, fleeting gift. Avoid investing time in unfulfilling relationships or pursuing a career that fails to ignite your passion. Prioritize your journey toward genuine happiness and purpose.

Is there a particular challenge you are currently facing?
Life’s perpetual motion is what captivates me, an ongoing journey filled with challenges that unfold as new adventures, revealing unexplored facets of my personality. Each challenge, whether pleasant or arduous, contributes to our growth, adding to our happiness and fortitude.

Presently, I find myself in a different country, immersed in a culture and mindset vastly distinct from my own. Initiating everything anew is undeniably challenging, requiring a courage not everyone possesses. Yet, I embraced it, and I take pride in that decision.

Ahead lie a few intense years, marked by new connections, colleagues, language, and cultural nuances. I am prepared for this journey. With a determination to follow my dream, I choose happiness and fulfillment through my art, forging ahead into the unknown.
