Eugenia Naty is a multidisciplinary artist and designer whose work is rooted in a deep connection with the Mediterranean landscape, the memory of places, and contemporary social dynamics. She grew up in the heart of Salento, in close contact with the sea and the unspoiled landscape—elements that have profoundly influenced her poetic and conceptual vision.
She moved to Milan to pursue her studies, where she began exploring the dialogue between art, society, and sustainability. After graduating, she embarked on a professional and artistic journey that combines visual art, textile design, and cultural planning, collaborating with both Italian and international institutions.
In the early years of her career, she worked in London with Agora Art Circle and the City of London, curating social integration workshops and urban regeneration projects for the restoration of Providence House through the co-creation of collective artworks. She later took part in the European project Craft Lab – Residences on the Way from Traditional to Contemporary, promoted by the Fondazione Pino Pascali, where she contributed to the development of textile artifacts and the rebranding of museum spaces through upcycling practices and ethical design.
Her artistic language spans various media: land art installations, textile sculptures, video art, and artist books. Among her most significant works are Golden Earth (finalist at the Arte Laguna Prize in Venice), The Way (sculpture exhibited at the Fondazione Pino Pascali), Olden Earth (winner of the CCSAContemporaneo under 35 grant), and the video Antologia di un pensiero, presented at the GNAM – National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome.
In 2021, she exhibited her artist book GrandMother at the Braidense National Library and the Design Museum – Compasso d’Oro. She was a finalist in the competition Artefici del nostro tempo (in collaboration with the Venice Biennale) with her work Resilient Earth, later exhibited at the Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation.
In 2023, she took part in a research and visual storytelling project promoted by the Lombardy Circuit of Design Museums, in collaboration with the Osvaldo Borsani Archive, culminating in an exhibition and publication at the Triennale di Milano.
In parallel with her artistic work, she developed the MONET project—focused on museum rebranding and funded by the European Union’s Mediterranean Museum Network—and continues to grow Le Naty, a sustainable fashion brand she founded, combining aesthetics, craftsmanship, and environmental awareness.
Her entire practice revolves around the desire to raise awareness of the pressing issues of our time: climate change, identity in transformation, the recovery of memory, and our collective responsibility for the future.
