Home
This is my favourite place, where comfort, calm, love, life, colours, and culture blend together. It’s what I need to be creative and inspired, so I know this is where I must work; this is where I feel free to let my instincts flow.
My studio has long been nomadic—a laptop and headphones are convenient—but perhaps it lacked structure, a home, because being able to do it wherever you want can also, conversely, not create a stable routine that allows you to work a little more seriously and frequently. We moved a little over a year ago, and the new house allows me to incorporate my studio into the living room, between the kitchen and the living room. Just a desk with monitors and my laptop, away from the distraction of the screen (TV) and close to natural light. Being near a window overlooking the garden brings calm, comfort, and a depth of vision, essential for expressing our creativity.
Having incorporated the studio into the living room allows me to work at regular and more intensive frequencies, I have never been so productive, because the set up is there, it is always ready, I can go there when I want, spend the afternoon there, or an hour in the evening after dinner, the studio is there, before my eyes, almost calling me, I am freed from the rules of an outdoor studio or an isolated, dedicated room, where having to go there requires mandatory productivity, we have been there, it has to be productive, otherwise it is a failure. Whereas now, if it does not work, because even if everything is designed to optimise my creativity, we are still human, and I know how to listen to myself, and know if my time will be more useful reading a book or cooking than forcing the elements and in the end my music will not be a winner.”
