Interview WITH a TEENAGE ARTIST the guest in our studio today is Edward Gray, a teenage artist from North America.0:25
Welcome to the studio, Edward.0:36
And the first question to you.0:38
How did you begin your career of an artist?0:39
I have always been interested in drawing.0:43
My family encouraged me and helped.0:45
And I had a very good model, my elder cousin George, who, being not an artist himself, knows so much about the world of painting.0:49
Lots of stories about different pictures and their creators.0:58
I think his influence was really the most important when I felt I was at the crossroads of my life.1:02
How did you get to where you are today?1:09
I got to be myself through older influences.1:13
My elder brothers were always around me.1:17
Then George, who was a frequent visitor to us, especially at weekends.1:19
They introduced me to things most teens don't experience until older.1:25
What's your biggest weakness?1:29
My biggest weakness is finding the motivation to go on sometimes.1:32
It often happens when I feel defeated.1:37
I become angry then and sometimes make bad decisions.1:40
My willpower can be weak.1:44
I think I'm rather vulnerable to criticism.1:46
What's your greatest strength?1:50
I have never thought about it before.1:52
Well, probably my strength, as I like to see it, is my morals and caring for others.1:55
I am sure that happiness begins in the family.2:02
I always tend to think about them and their conveniences.2:05
I want to be a good person.2:09
What talents do you admire in other people?2:11
I admire musicians more than anything.2:15
I think music is an incredible thing to create.2:18
I draw images like they draw notes.2:21
I have friends who are musicians.2:25
In my opinion, they have more talent than the majority of people on music TV programs.2:27
What subjects do you like to draw?2:32
I have always been interested in very dark movies, music and drawings.2:35
I like to try and unify horror and rebellion.2:40
What inspires you to create?2:44
For me, drawing, painting or creating is just a way to escape.2:46
I just forget about all the things that frustrate me.2:51
I go into some peaceful trance.2:55
The time of those moments.2:57
I'm quite unaware of what is around me.2:58
I think everyone needs to escape reality sometimes.3:02
We all have our own ways to do that.3:05
Have you ever exhibited or sold any works?3:08
I don't really sell my artworks.3:11
Mostly I give them to people who like them.3:14
It's like giving them a part of yourself.3:16
If I have given you a piece of art, it means I like you.3:19
How is your relationship with your parents?3:23
I get on with my parents really well.3:27
They have seen me go through bad times.3:30
And helped me to grow wiser.3:32
They trust my judgment more than I do.3:35
What's your favorite time of day?3:37
It is definitely dusk.3:39
The time when daylight is becoming less bright.3:41
The darker part of twilight, if you please.3:44
Who knows what lies ahead of me?3:48
I know that I'll die someday, but that's it.3:51
