Celeste Najt is a photographer and artist from Buenos Aires, Argentina who lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Her art passion began at the primary school, where the art class represented a moment of calm and elevation. At the age of 16 she started to do mixed media collage as an everyday exercise, materialising her feelings and she had never stopped since then. The main intention of her work is to embrace a reflection of reality by the combination of different art techniques, different feelings and different ideological conceptions. Looking for inspiration in landscapes, people, and those unrepeatable fragments of time, in which everything seems to be perfectly engaged, or in those in which complexity seems to be unavoidable. In the year 2007 she opened her own art gallery in Buenos Aires: El tigre Celeste, in order to promote emerging art and provide her work with an appropriate exhibition framework. From 2012 to 2016 Celeste did a great number of art experiences in distant places -residencies, exhibitions, workshops- entering into a journey in which the experience of the movement became the oeuvre itself. Her works were exhibited in Buenos Aires, Berlin, Miami, New York, Carlisle (UK), Amsterdam, Amersfoort, Zurich, Gothenburg, Stockholm, Umeå, Bergen, Stavanger, Oslo, Helsinki​, Nagoya (Japan).
