Biography
BIOGRAPHY
Natalia Elena Massi was born in Lucerne (Switzerland) in 1967. She lived in Mondavio (Pesaro Urbino) until the age of 26. Now lives and works in Brescia.
She always had a natural tendency for the arts and interested in everything that is relevant to some artistic form (music, dance, drawing, photography).
Beloved of photography, after attending a photography course at the IED, European Design Institute, in Turin in 2011, the passion explodes to her full leisure time.
Since then, no one day is spent without doing something about photography.
She likes both the digital photography and the analogue with which she delights to follow and personally produce the entire negative development process to fully manage the result.
In 2012 he approaches the first photographic club (the Lambda Photographic Association) for the first time in order to share her passion with other photographers and deepen the topics of photography, and in 2013 joins the FIAF Association and continues to attend several refresher courses and workshops. She is currently enrolled in various art clubs and art associations including the National Museum of Photography in Brescia and the Eureka Arte association.
PASSION AS PHILOSOPHY OF OWN ART
Natalia Elena Massi believes that photography is a means of expressing what can not be seen, to tell what is felt and to imagine what does not exist.
It is not merely a representation of reality that staged the artist with her work, but an alteration of the real scene, associations and overlapping of objects to represent the larger picture which goes beyond the simple sum of different elements.
