What kind of skills does an artist need in working life right now?
What skills does an artist need to succeed in today’s working life? The question is answered by accordion artist Leonardo Rojnić.
”Many artists grow up, myself included, believing that if their art is good enough, everything else will follow. In working life, that is often not true. Today’s world is crowded, fast, and noisy, so art alone often struggles to reach people without visibility or support. The gap between a strong artist and an artist who builds a professional life is often not artistic skill, but translation.
I believe that artists also need to present their work clearly, connect and collaborate with others, and create opportunities around it. For me, these skills are part of giving art a life outside ourselves. They help it reach people and matter beyond the moment of making it.
A question I ask myself often is not only, “How do I become better at my art?” but also, “Who is this art for? How can I explain it, share it, and build a life around it?”
Leonardo Rojnić is a Croatian classical accordionist based in Helsinki. He is currently studying at the Sibelius Academy – University of the Arts Helsinki. He has also studied at the Uniarts Hub pre-incubator of the University of the Arts Helsinki.
