Milena Kravetz

Hello, my name is Milena Kravetz, also known by my artist name KATASTROFFFE. I was born on November 5, 1988, and I am currently based in Lisbon, Portugal. I have traveled extensively for work throughout Europe and Asia, having lived in 35 countries. I graduated from the Academy of Art ADA in Florence, Italy, and hold a Master's degree in Fine Art and Sculpture. With a decade of teaching experience in the same field, I am passionate about sharing my knowledge. In addition to my teaching career, I have contributed to documentary photography and filmmaking projects for UNESCO. In 2017, I received an award for my work as the director of photography on the film "Learn to Play the Game." My artistic endeavors focus on a deep passion for art and documentary photography, often utilizing black and white images to convey my emotions towards people and architecture. Currently, I am focused on artistic fashion photography, few projects dedicated to model castings such as Mortal Casting and at the different Fashion Showcases working on backstages of high fashion shows, etc. Additionally, I invest in supporting Sustainable Fashion through the project "WHAT A WASTE!" My work has been showcased in approximately 10 exhibitions and featured in over 50 publications across various magazines and popular creative platforms. Currently, I am actively engaged in producing photography books, developing a KATASTROFFFE clothing line, and serving as a Creative Director for different companies. Additionally, I mentor individuals in the fields of Art Start-ups and Creative Thinking.
