Kubiak Marta
In 2009 she graduated from the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław, Faculty of Graphics and Media Art, field of studies: printmaking.
I work in the field of printmaking, using in particular the techniques of screen printing and photopolymer. I am fascinated with what others might find unworthy of focusing on, pointless. My works are a kind of personal commentary on reality, an attempt to capture everydayness.
