Conference interpreter during the press conference on Alphonse Mucha at Palau Martorell

Silvia Palá Intérpretes coordinated the presentation services for the press conference on the Czech artist Alphonse Mucha, the protagonist of the new exhibition at the Palau Martorell.

Alphonse Mucha was one of the leading exponents of Art Nouveau, and this exhibition is the result of the most recent research examining the theoretical aspect of Mucha’s work, especially the idea of beauty, the central principle of his artistic practice.

The exhibition consists of more than 80 pieces, including his famous posters dedicated to the divine Sarah Bernhardt, commercial objects with his unmistakable designs, as well as photographs and preparatory drawings of his works.

The exhibition is curated by the expert Tomoko Sato, and is organised by the Palau Martorell in collaboration with the Mucha Foundation.

I have been working as a simultaneous interpreter since 1992, and my very first assignment was none other than the Barcelona Olympic Games. I was proud to be part of such a historic event, as it allowed me to combine my passion for both sports and my profession.

In my early years, I found myself wanting to be every professional whose world I entered from the interpreting booth. Enthralled by the excitement of the athletes representing us, I dreamed of becoming an Olympic sailor. Another day, I returned home determined to be the best coach. A respected pediatric surgeon. The most efficient orthodontist. A renowned publishing director. A stairlift manufacturer. A high-fashion model. A driver on the new metro line. An actress, a sculptor. A nurse. A President of a board of directors.

I quickly realized that pursuing so many professions, no matter how fascinating they seemed, would be impossible. Instead, I chose to embrace the privilege of giving voice to the remarkable individuals I have had the honor of interpreting for, carrying a piece of each one with me.

I cannot deny that every client I have worked with has left a lasting impression on me, enriching both my personal and professional growth.
