Celia was born in 1994, after graduating in architecture, she put everything aside to devote herself to photography. « By falling in love with photography I had finally found an eco to my soul, it brought me a lot on a personal level, since it contributes greatly to my balance, it is the way I have chosen to express my sensitivity and a vision of the world around me.
My photographic training goes beyond any academic framework. Photography came into my life as a hobby, but it quickly became an omnipresent passion.
My artistic research focuses on intimacy, human being and emotions, which I try to transpose to images through the photographic tool, trying several styles and approaches. ».

The notion of beauty is relative to everyone. For me, beauty softens my existence, helps me to heal, hence my need to immortalise it and write my intimacy with images.".
