Pieter Lategan Productions: Interview with Vladimir Tretchikoff - (Empathy)
"The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy." Meryl Streep.
Interviewer: "Good afternoon, Mr. Tretchikoff."
Interviewer: "You remember the Chinese girls?"
Interviewer: "Sorry, I went over to the next question. Mr. Tretchikoff, please tell me, To move to another country or a new country because of politics, it must have been hard to do for your family."
Vladimir Tretchikoff: "Yes, I was only 16 when I joined the theater in the Opera House in the Chinese-Russian theater. All our children, after our loss, had to jump and find jobs to survive. My dream has been to become an artist in Paris since I was a young boy. I was lucky to find a job. I managed to go to school till I was 16 years old. I went to school, and after hours, I did backdrops at the theater house."
Vladimir Tretchikoff: With a smile, he nodded and looked at me first. He looked at the audience and said, "Thank you."

Notes:
Our relationship, which is on the rocks, may be the best for both of us. The breakup with a partner was always hard for me. Everything is busy falling apart; I can even write a poem about the feelings and emotions that are bursting inside me.
Sitting alone and trying to figure out what went wrong and why it was unsuccessful after three and a half years. How can someone say to you that you will be mine forever and, after a few years, just drop you and not feel the same? Then I have to accept that it was not real love.
Finding mistakes - The Freedom I now have. for Anton
It is easy to lie or find
wrong inside a broken man
Sometimes it is fair to kill love
but real love is wrong
not okay to write about it
To kill or forget about it.
It is cold, winter now sad, August with winds
Leaves who leave the trees
Nature is true so are feelings of the human
being in love is a privilege.
It was only you
the care was just for you
it killed the loneliness I feel sadness when you not around
but you kill the sound of silence
made it alive
for you and my love to you
You will live in my thoughts because it was amazing having you with me
You can't say the same to me
will love you till I forget what we had
Leave you alone on the road I once had
Only in a way sad

Vladimir Tretchikoff, 'Tretchikoff' by Howard Timmins
Anna Wintour became the editor of the well-known fashion magazine Vogue in 1988, and immediately transformed the cover of the magazine by using Hollywood actresses and celebrities as models for the fashion publication.
Please note this is my personal opion about Me. Jani Allan
Allan was a journalist like my mother, but she was an even bigger media personality.
She became well-known for her articles in the Sunday Times, the weekly newspaper in South Africa. The Maverick, a daily newspaper in South Africa, described Allan as "the most influential writer and columnist in the country".
While studying art, I learned that we are essentially copiers. We replicate existing artwork for specific scenes. We were instructed to create paintings inspired by the old masters to be used in theater productions. - Pieter Lategan (2024)

The Design and Development of Pieter Lategan Galleries
When you think, a lot of people keep their thoughts to themselves. It is not always understandable why people do certain things, because you don't know what is on the mindset of that person.
Now you may wonder why I am writing this. This is a blog, please note, not a website. Before I proceed with this sentence, I want to explain the difference between a blog and a website, well, that is what Google says.
I searched for the actual difference between a blog and a website. They are different in their nature but similar in type. This means they are similar types but apart from each other. I won't delve deeper into that, but a website consists of a link of pages, whereas a blog is the thoughts and opinions of a writer which do not have pages that navigate to other pages, like going to a contact page, price list page, or about us page. So it is easy to explain but not always easy to remember.
I want to continue with the first two sentences with which I started: I design and develop on my blog, ideas, concepts, and thoughts. Sometimes it gets out of hand, and my imagination runs away from me.
The internet space is very interesting; you can basically do what you want. However, there are certain things you need to understand. If you put information about yourself, your address, your phone number, things change and laws are made so that it is not always possible inline by the law, like the Sectional Title law where I am not allowed to run a business from home. If I advertise, I need to do it without an address, but it is okay to call, yet you have to bring your client to you. This is wrong, because then you cannot do business at the place you reside, which is not allowed. It is difficult to live in your own unit because anyone can access this property which I own, and the wrong person might walk in and claim that I am conducting business. Then again, he needs to prove it, but if he sends his friend and there are a few pieces of evidence, that can lead to unwanted trouble in form of a letter.
While I am on the topic, this letter was addressed to me this week. It gives me a good understanding of how the art is experiencing me. In an individual's opinion. My acting was maybe to gain financial pleasure, but I was acting as a salesman, to train myself to start selling artworks, which the art institution has less or no knowledge of.
