In December 2009, i stopped studying at the University of British Columbia. I took about a year and a half to finally decide what i really wanted to study. I love art so much, but i honestly never saw myself painting and drawing and making art for a living. I wanted something a little different, something that would give me the opportunities to meet more people, to move around more and something that i was really passionate about, so i decided to go for Interior Design.
After having decided what i really wanted to do for the rest of my life, I applied to several school in Canada and Europe. I got accepted in Emily Carr University in Vancouver, but despite of that i decided to come to Marbella, Spain. I had always wanted to live in Europe and i found a design school in Marbella (Marbella Design Academy), and even though i didn't really know what i was getting into at first, i took my chances, and i don't regret my decision at all.
I've met so many great people, i've travelled a lot and i've learnt so much about so many things that it makes me happy so to have come here. I know i closed a good opportunity back in Canada, but i'm more than sure that many other doors are gonna open up for me here.
My classes in Spain were supposed to start in September 2010, so i had 8 months in Peru to do whatever i wanted to do. Obviously i wasn't going to sit at home doing nothing, so I
took a Decoration of Interiors course for a semester in "Toulouse Lautrec Institute".
This was the place where i was really introduced to Interior Design, and i loved it.
Mixed Media.
The first thing we did was colors. I already knew so much about colors but every time i go over it, i learn more and more. For this assignment, the teacher told us to find a real client, interview him and make a living room/dining room he/she would love to have.
We wrote down several professions in small pieces of paper, and each of us had to pick one randomly. I got "musician", so i basically had to find a Peruvian musician and interview him.
I chose "Juan Jose Chiquisengo", a very well known peruvian pianist who has had several concerts all around the world, and currently resides in Spain.
After i interviewed him, this was the living room/ dining room i thought he would like:
(I did every single thing on my own, from the walls, to the furniture, to even the smallest details in the piano. It took some time but i loved it.)
