Scarlet Song

by Marta Witkiewicz

This alla prima painting, which I captured during the past summer in Poland, depicts a beloved porcelain bird that holds a special place in my mother’s cherished collection. I remember him sitting above the fireplace at our house since I was a little girl. Seems like the fire has always been his element. I have to tell you, this little one is bursting with character. Enthusiastic, energetic and very determined to make happen everything he puts his mind on to. While painting and observing all those shades of red, I almost could feel the fire in his belly emanating from within. Just a little warning, it might be contagious! 😉

Marta Witkiewicz

Hey! My name is Marta Witkiewicz and I’m a traditional artist, illustrator, and writer in love with the word “Magic”. I grew up in a small village in Poland but the chase after dreams took me places. Currently, I live in Madrid, Spain.

During the time of atelier-style education focused mostly on strict classical approaches, my heart was divided between the beauty of fine art and the unrestricted imagination of fantasy illustration. In my personal works, I aim to blur the edges between them – using the foundations that I’ve learned and storytelling to create enchanted worlds and characters.

I seek the feeling I have when I immerse myself in stories that give this thrill as if something magical was about to happen, the promise of an exciting adventure, a secret to be discovered. I want to grasp and spread this sparkle that makes people dream, wonder, and believe that everything is possible.

I've been exhibiting my works in galleries in US and Australia and currently am looking for a way to transition into more illustration industry.
