CELESTE GAIA
Senzaquadro
Milan, ITALY
In imperfection lies the beauty of details
Celeste Gaia is a multidisciplinary artist from Milan (Italy).
Graduated in Media Languages at Università Cattolica and Photography at IED, she worked for creative agencies and startups as a freelance artisan of words, photos and marketing plans. During the lockdown she created Senzaquadro, an artistic design project made of packaging waste, merging recycled materials, colors and words.
Launched in December 2020 in Milan, with a capsule collection in the heart of 5Vie District, she took part in Milan Design Week with Isola Design District, and to name a few she exhibited in Holland, in Dubai, and in the foyer of Franco Parenti Theater in Milan. In partnership with WallPepper®/Group, she presented “Ensemble”, a wallpaper made from fragments of old magazines.
She is a maker, a photographer and a songwriter. Her way of creating is actually an hybrid between collectible design and artistic works and with Senzaquadro she feels free to experiment with different waste materials and techniques.

Value in the details
A mix of techniques
She uses different techniques range from traditional painting to digital graphic, papier-mâché and collage, according to the surface that exhibit her works.
Everything is born with a message: a word, a phrase, a concept that can return in the different lines, while each creation is unique and numbered.
Waste comes art material
Gaia loves waste materials, she doesn't throw anything away. Food and delivery packaging, cardboard boxes, styrofoam and waste wood become her raw materials. It’s a long process of research made of different phases. Old waste newspapers and magazines are used for shaping things.
Re-use, re-immagine
The starting point it’s always imagination - “If I can imagine it, then I can do it - she says. Daily emotions and thoughts are continuous inspiration for every creation. The idea behind it’s a transformation of waste materials, reborning as a piece of art, handmade with care and personality.
