A SPECIAL MEETING…

Yesterday I had a special meeting with a special person (special for me): Vicente Wolf. As I already declared in one of posts I have a huge admiration for Vicente Wolf’s work and his successful story. Recently I interned in his office for about 3 months and I had the privilege to meet and work close to him. Not feeling satisfying with that I asked him to have a meeting where we could sit down and talk a little bit. This meeting it was scheduled for yesterday… I couldn’t wait for that! I got there, rang the bell and for my surprise he was the one who opened the door!… We walk me to the meeting room, where is surrounded by a lot of beautiful and interesting all kinds of photography collected by him. It’s an amazing special room, in my opinion. In his gentleman way he asked me to sit down. I started explain to him my reason why I asked him for that meeting… I was nervous! He noticed that and ask me why I was nervous if I that spend time there already for a while as an intern?! Well, then I expressed my admiration one more time, and told him that I never could act “normal” in front of him, because he always been a myth, an idol for me! Even working there for a few months made my feelings to be changed. Perhaps made my admiration for him became bigger by observing how polite, generous and giving he is. So then I told to him that I prepared some questions and I would like to ask him… Then I started asking the questions and writing down what he was responding… Eventually, I stopped writing down because the interview became more like a conversation. So I started trying to really listening what he was saying and learn more about him and the field of interior design. He spent about 40 minutes with me. I think it was very generous from him, considering the fact how busy he is! I feel so grateful and lucky to have experienced this moment!

However, I left the place more thoughtful then ever… I went to a coffee shop, asked for a hot tea and start writing down everything that he said. I did not want to forget he’s advices… One of the advices he gave to me it was to visit the museums a lot, try to “look at things”, find out what you really like! So that what I did! I headed to The Metropolitan Museum of Art… I’ve been in The MET few times… But this time I started looking at things in a different way… and I found so many beautiful things again… I started looking not just the object by itself, but the object and its colors, textures, shapes & forms, details, periods, etc. I took pictures of all the pieces that I liked, and here I would like to share some of them!
