Lech Marta
In 2005 she graduated from the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław, field of studies: printmaking.
I deal with printmaking, less often with painting and drawing. My preferred technique is linocut. In my printmaking work, I constantly circle around the motif of light. I look for situations in which it gives an illusory impression of a measurable, countable structure, possible to be included in the rigours of my thinking about the world and space. I am interested in creating an image deliberately devoid of narrativeness, muted, focused on form and the aesthetic experience associated with it.
