Bio
Celeste Najt has been interested in art since her teens when she began experimenting with collage and assembling discarded plastic elements. From 2003-2006, Najt studied Art at IUNA (National University Institute of Art) and began a digital search which led to handmade compositions of new dimensions and content by creating a dialogue between techniques. Photography became her focus providing raw material for her compositions. Najt also has a degree in Photography from EFC (School of Creative Photography). In 2007, she opened the art gallery El Tigre Celeste to promote emerging art and provide her work with an exhibition framework.
