We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Giancarlo Beroldo. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Giancarlo below.
Hi Giancarlo, thanks for sharing your insights with our community today. Part of your success, no doubt, is due to your work ethic and so we’d love if you could open up about where you got your work ethic from?
I developed my work ethic from years as an athlete. I learned from a very young age the importance of persistence, patience and discipline. While other athletes were unable to form their lives to meet the growing demands of sport, I found success in dedicating myself to what I loved. I have always been very passionate about my life and when I became an ocean photographer after my career as a soccer player, I found a positive outlet for all the skills I had learned through twenty years in sport. I think part of my work ethic comes from my love for what I do, I find that if you find joy in what you do then it is easy to want to work very hard on it, and easy to find the energy and time to do so.
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
My brand, GSEA, is focused on capturing and sharing what I love most in the ocean. I have recently released a book that serves as a catalog for the first few years of my work as an artist. As well as having published a book I recently released a series of prints on recycled aluminum and repurposed vinyl records. My goal is to continue creating artwork that is beneficial to the environment/community I create in while also trying to excite people about what I love. The ocean is my place of peace and beauty and I want to share how I feel when I am experiencing the water with other people.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
I think that persistence, patience and passion were the three most powerful tools on my journey. With a combination of these I feel anything is possible. I think the most important piece of advice I can give is that if you love doing something, do not give up on it. It is most important to feel good about what you spend your time doing in this world, and if you love what you do you are more likely to put your all into everything you create.
If you knew you only had a decade of life left, how would you spend that decade?
The biggest challenge I am facing today is gaining exposure. In a world oversaturated with artwork and entrepreneurs it is extremely difficult to get noticed and make enough money to sustain life as an artist. I am hoping through patience, hard work and confidence that I can overcome this challenge and be able to become a full time artist.
