🎨💡 Business Meets Talent: My conversation with PASKO about support and the future of young artists in Luxembourg

📚 As a management student at the University of Luxembourg, the term investment usually comes up in connection with money, returns, and markets. But for me, investment also means recognizing and fostering potential, especially in young people and artists.

An example of this is the Luxembourgish artist PASKO. With the exhibition "PASKO A Kolleegen," he not only shows his own works but also creates a platform for other talents. This is exactly where art and management meet: it’s about ideas, visions, and creating opportunities.

✨ Why not invest more in youth and creativity?

A space is more than four walls. A space can be a platform — a place where young people share their art, their voices, and their ideas. Such a space is emerging in Differdange, Luxembourg, at SCEENERIE, with the exhibition "PASKO A Kolleegen."

The young artist PASKO not only presents his own works but deliberately opens the stage for other talents. Musicians, rappers, singers, and performers are given the chance to share their creativity with an audience. A true "Open Room" concept that makes art visible and connects people.

There are many parallels between art and business. Whether in music, painting, or entrepreneurship, it is always about shaping new ideas, reflecting on different paths, and developing a plan to turn visions into reality. Creativity, courage, and strategy are not opposites — they are the foundation of progress.

The conclusion is clear: young people and artists deserve more attention. Those who truly want to invest in the future should give young talents spaces, platforms, and opportunities so their ideas can grow and their energy becomes visible.

💡 Supporting young talent means investing not only in art, but also in community, diversity, and the future.

🎤 Interview with PASKO

What does this exhibition, "PASKO A Kolleegen," mean to you personally?

Answer: This exhibition feels like a comeback to me — a sign of life that things have changed. The fact that I haven’t exhibited for a while, and that I don’t exhibit something every month, was my own decision. This exhibition doesn’t mean less to me than the others, but it means more sentimentally, because it’s a kind of comeback — a sign to myself.

How did you come up with the idea not only to show your work but also to give other talents a stage?

Answer: There are many reasons. What really matters is that I wanted to offer my colleagues a platform — and I wanted to create an event that I would have liked to see. Nobody invited me or told me, “Come on Saturday, there’s this event.” That’s exactly why I organized this exhibition — to invite people and give them the opportunity to show what they have to offer.

What do you wish for young artists in Luxembourg?

Answer: I wish for support — in general. Be it from friends, family, or basically anyone. Simply support, because support is a strong word that means a lot. Support can mean making a donation, or going to someone’s event to support them. And that is what I wish for young artists in Luxembourg.
