Bio
Celeste Najt has been interested in art since her teens when she began experimenting with collage and assembling discarded plastic elements.

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.
