Catia Mencacci, born in Cortona in the province of Arezzo, approached the world of photography in 2012. She enrolled in her first photography course almost as a joke, at the suggestion of a friend. Without knowing what was a new environment for her, having never felt the need to photograph before, she showed up at her first lesson without a camera.
The initial interest soon turned into a deep and overwhelming passion. She is mainly interested in the impressionistic and dreamlike sphere of photography, the one in which the image transports the soul of the observer to a parallel world: a magical environment made of emotions such as enchantment, melancholy and dream.
She has also received international awards and exhibited in numerous Italian cities. For a year, she has been changing her research towards the video sector, combining it with the study of artificial intelligence.
