My first step from a long

journey

My journey“…I am a seed looking for a proper

pot to be sowed in. A pot that offers me a soil rich in minerals,

that will help me grow and bloom, bringing smiles on the faces that watch me. I know you are that

proper pot and that is why I choose to apply to your course. Will you be

willing to help me bloom?”

1. An open window towards Interior

DesignHaving taken the decision to apply to an interior design course, I have opened the

window towards this wonderful world, that has been unknown to me until recently. In front of

your eyes are the fruits gathered during my expedition

in this new world.

We all sometimes feel like withdrawing from the crowd and fleeing from all the noise and

grayness that characterize our society. These chairs look truly welcoming, while the pink hues create such an intimate atmosphere, that this

place seems to be just perfect for relaxing, forgetting everything and only enjoying the

company of someone special.

1. An open window towards Interior Design

The sun's rays are yellow, the sky is blue, the clouds are white, the

soil is brown, the stones are grey…

This bedroom would be the place where you could rest peacefully

in the arms of the colors that make nature such a brilliant

place.

An abstract art gallery, where geometric shapes blend with

curved lines and spirals.

2. Understanding the miracle of being able

to seeWe, human beings generally tend to seek and admire the exceptional, the unseen, the

new and most interesting, and ignore everything that is tiny and ordinary. However, when

you start drawing, you discover shades and hues without which your drawing is flat, unreal and

lifeless. This is what I discovered while drawing

simple objects.

This is a sketch made

for my drawing class

at school when I was

13 years old. At that time I had no idea whatsoever what kind of course would I be applying

to in four years' time.

2. Understanding the miracle of being able to see

The warmth of candles and old books

2. Understanding the miracle of being able to see

There is a balance that weights kind words and angry shouts, smiles and tears, hard work and lost time… But what if there was a balance for colours,

too? What would it show? Is there such thing as noteworthy colours or insignificant hues?

2. Understanding the miracle of being able to see

Look,, there is a floating Rubik's

cube!

Well, in fact I have only

experimented with optical illusions...

2. Understanding the miracle of being able to see

This shelf with seaside ornaments and the painting would look great in the

living room of a coastal home, because of bringing inside the house the

vibrancy of the forever restless sea.

2. Understanding the miracle of being able to see

The grace of the swan, the love of a mother's heart and the usefulness of a flower pot

in one object...

2. Understanding the miracle of being able to see

A tea cup and a pear for the lunch break... But besides that, I also had in my school bag paper and pencil! And look,, this is the result at the

end of the day...

2. Understanding the miracle of being able to see

The world without colors would be just like a white sheet of paper: austere, boring and depressing.

3. SketchesOpening the window towards the world of interior design

means working, and working a lot. It means trying and

going on and always working on something...

A sketch of a spacious bathroom. The bathtub and the shower are

separated by glass doors from the rest of the bathroom.

3. Sketches

Only looking for a design that would improve my family's one-room

apartment... I have found the Murphy bed on Internet, and I would consider it

extremely useful for a small room like this one.

camera, open your eyes and seek the best

moment to capture the ART and the LIFE that is around you every day.
