Marta Plizga

I graduated in illustration from the University of Bedfordshire and have been trying my hand at it ever since. I mainly draw people, portraits are my passion, but apart from that I do workshops and murals whenever the opportunity arises.

In my work, I try to experiment a lot and not be too attached to one medium. I like to have more possibilities, which is why I create my works using mixed techniques, using pastels, inks and paints, mainly gouache and acrylics. When I create, I look for inspiration among people who captivate me with something, that attracts my attention, I am lucky that in the UK I see a lot of colourful personalities every day, which gives me a lot of opportunities to create. I put on paper the image of how I see a given character, trying to capture the originality of the person from my personal perspective. Art does not always have to be serious and this is my work, which is quite not serious.
