The process
Twenty years of learning.
Now making.
Before Marta painted a single canvas for herself, she spent two decades restoring other artists' work — learning how colour ages, how layers interact, how a painting can survive centuries if it's made with care. That foundation lives in everything she creates today.
The painting
Marta works in her Málaga studio in oil on large-format canvas. The process is physical — she moves around the canvas, works at scale, and builds in layers. A composition might go through a dozen intermediate states before she considers it complete.
Her training as an art restorer gave her something unusual: a forensic understanding of how the Old Masters actually built their images. Layer by layer, pigment by pigment. She applies that same thinking — colour temperature, underpainting, glazes — but in service of something entirely her own.
The Mediterranean light of Andalusia saturates everything she does now. Colours are bolder, more alive. The palette she dreamed in while working under grey Polish skies finally exists.
The print
Each canvas print is a museum-quality giclée reproduction of an original painting — not a scan of a scan, not a JPEG pumped through a poster machine. The original is professionally photographed in controlled light, colour-profiled, and sent to a specialist print partner in Poland.
Printed on 365 g/m² canvas using archival inks, the finish is as close to the original surface as reproduction technology allows. Colours are calibrated to the original. The canvas texture reads naturally.
Each edition is limited to 20. Marta signs and numbers every print by hand. A certificate of authenticity is included — stating the edition number, title, and her signature.

The delivery
Prints ship rolled in an oversized heavy-duty protective tube — the extra diameter prevents the canvas from forming a tight curl during transit. Tracked end-to-end via DHL, UPS, or FedEx from Poland.
Production time is 3–5 working days after payment. European delivery typically takes 5–10 working days after that. You receive a tracking number by email the moment your order ships.
When the print arrives, leave it flat for 24 hours before framing or stretching — this lets the canvas relax from transit. Most collectors either stretch it over a wooden frame or mount it on aluminium dibond.
Commissions
Custom originals
An original commission is a painting made for a specific person, a specific wall, a specific life. The process is collaborative — you bring the brief, Marta brings everything else.
You reach out
Fill the commission enquiry form. Tell Marta which of her existing works resonate with you, the dimensions of the wall, your colour preferences, and anything that feels important to the mood of the room.
Marta proposes
She responds with a proposal — an outline of the composition, the palette direction, and a rough concept sketch. You discuss, adjust, confirm. Nothing starts until you’re happy.
She paints
6–12 weeks from approval, depending on scale. You receive progress photos at key stages — mid-composition and near completion — so you can see it developing.
Delivered to you
The finished painting is photographed and documented in full, then crated and shipped fully insured from Málaga. A certificate of authenticity comes with it. Tracked to your door.
The background
From restoring to creating
Twenty years of professional art restoration — repairing oil paintings, sculptures, and religious works housed in churches and collections across Poland — gave Marta something no art school teaches: a deep, structural understanding of how paintings are built to last.
She knows how pigments age, how gesso holds, how varnish affects light, how a canvas stretcher can make or break the longevity of a piece. All of that technical knowledge now informs every decision she makes, from the weight of canvas she paints on to the archival standard she holds her print partners to.
The move from Kraków to Málaga completed the transformation. The Mediterranean light, the colour, the warmth — it all flows into work that is both technically disciplined and genuinely alive.
"I spent twenty years learning how art endures — how pigments hold, how canvas ages, how a painting can survive centuries if it's made with care. Now I put all of that knowledge into creating something new."
