Voices

by Marta Witkiewicz

Here is a little poem I wrote accompanying this piece:

Have You Ever Heard This Voice

Nagging Deeply In Your Head

You Don’t Even Have A Choice

As It Spins Its Tangled Thread

You Just Feel This Nauseous Squeeze

As It Slips Down Through The Spine

You Just Wish To Be At Ease

But It Whispers – You Are Mine

Countless Voices Swirling In Trance

You Are Not Enough They Say

Come And Join This Vicious Dance

Do Not Speak And Obey

But…

Have You Ever Heard This Voice

Like Soft Whisper In Your Heart

You Must Know You Have A Choice

That You Play The Biggest Part

You Can Change This Way To Be

Shaking Head You’re Asking How

Mindful Decision Is The Key

Just Be Here… Just Be Now…

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.
