About the artist

Katastrofffe is the brainchild of Milena Kravetz — a one-woman riot of street art, sculpture, and subversion. Trained in Florence, now based in Lisbon, Milena works where art meets urgency. Her background spans sculpture, oil painting, photography, and up cycled underground clothing label — all of it feeding into a practice that doesn’t ask for space. It takes it. She’s also a sustainability activist — questioning systems, materials, and the cultural trash we’re told to treasure. Her work doesn’t just critique consumerism; it sidesteps it completely. Her standout project, Face of the City, drops 50 plaster heads into public spaces across Europe. Not museums. Not curated fairs. Just out there — Florence, Prague, Vienna, Berlin, Amsterdam, Lisbon — staring blankly, maybe accusingly, at whoever walks by. Each face is a city. Burnt out. Buzzing. Suffocating under its own weight. You don’t just see them — you feel watched. The city is alive. The question is: what’s it becoming? “Exhibitions cost money. Space. PR. But what if the whole point is to be seen by someone who doesn’t go to galleries? Who wouldn’t click on an ad, but might look up from their phone and feel something real?” Projects like Overprotected Love go even further — raw, emotional fragments about heartbreak and human fragility, wheatpasted in the rain on the streets of London, Brighton, Berlin. No promo. No gloss. Just truth on walls.
