Reality is a field of infinite possibilities , shaped by the way we perceive ourselves in relation to the world . We are standing in front of a gateway that will lead us into another dimension , thinking about something we cannot picture yet , but which is already part of us .

Melania de Leyva was born in 1998. Her first approach to photography was in 2009 when travelling in Europe, where she captured city life scenarios and, in the meantime, she started photographing herself with a series of black and white self-portraits.The self portraits usually represent artistic nudes in line with the artist’s perception of herself. Therefore, nudity becomes a way to show the essence, which is automated in the other subjects, it stages a dimension that expresses, in the form of an illustrated work, concepts.At the moment, she lives in the outskirts of Venice.
