Ciara Gaglio, the creative force behind Moonlight Media, is a multidisciplinary artist and designer known for her surreal, vintage-inspired aesthetic that blends the nostalgic with the unexpected. Her work explores the tension between beauty and decay, elegance and rebellion\u2014transforming familiar imagery into something haunting, bold, and unforgettable.<\/p>\n
With a background in graphic design, photography, analog collage, and painting, Ciara seamlessly combines traditional and digital techniques to create richly textured compositions. She draws inspiration from antique aesthetics, retro-futurism, and the eerie romance of forgotten eras, merging old-world craftsmanship with modern surrealism. Whether working with hand-cut paper, paint, a camera lens, or digital tools, she thrives in crafting layered narratives that feel both timeless and cutting-edge.<\/p>\n
Her artistic range also extends into photography, where she explores surreal compositions through the lens. She previously released a sold-out NFT collection of underwater photography, capturing ethereal, dreamlike moments suspended in time.<\/p>\n
Based in New York City, Ciara has exhibited internationally, with her work featured in NYC, Miami, Las Vegas, Portugal, Dubai, Barcelona, and Paris. As a lifelong artist and part of the NFT art scene since 2021, she continues to push boundaries, crafting digital and physical worlds that exist in the space between memory and dream.<\/p>\n
