Milena Naef (b. 1990, Engen, Germany) is a visual artist mainly working with marble and glass. Her work has a strong focus on exploring the physical and mental
space of the human body, in which the human body is sometimes visibly and sometimes invisibly present. The body functions as a material itself, questioning the duality between subject and object. Milena Naef graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy (The Netherlands) in 2016, where she is represented by Lumen Travo Gallery.

Her work has been shown in various national and international exhibitions, including DOCK Basel, Switzerland (2023); Kunsten Museum of Modern Art Aalborg, Den-
mark (2022); Jungkunst Winterthur, Switzerland (2021); Kunstverein Springhornhof, Germany (2019); Garage Rotterdam, The Netherlands (2018) and ad/ad Project
Space Hannover, Germany (2018), Studio Oliver Gustav, Denmark (2018). Her work is in the permanent collection of Museum van Loon and in private collections. She
has been awarded with the GRA Award of Autonomous Art, The Netherlands (2016); with the Sybren Hellinga Kunstprijs, The Netherlands (2016), and the Frans de Wit
Prijs, The Netherlands (2019). Milena Naef is part of the collective MARS – Maternal Artistic Research Studio and lives in Freiburg with her son.
