Marta Dahlig. I have always been drawing. My family says that I started to draw even before I learnt how to walk.
At very early age I would spend my time sitting on the floor, covering with doodles all flat surfaces within my reach.
I have never studied drawing professionally, never attended any art school... I have only a few theoretical books, however most of my skills come from practice.
I prefer to learn by observing paintings, various techniques and environment, by experimenting and learning from my own mistakes. (Unfortunately) I am terribly stubborn and I always follow my own, individual way, even if it may be longer.

I am fascinated by color
Marta Dahlig
I am fascinated by color. Most of my works originated from a single color that I spotted on a bus, a billboard or a photograph. The whole picture springs from a single hue that grasped my attention.
It is difficult to define the theme of my works. Certainly most of them are portraits of women, but not all of them. Regardless of the topic, I always put a piece of myself into it, by means of a symbol or color.
I still cannot decide the direction I should follow. I keep searching and defining myself through various styles and topics. I am fascinated by many completely different artists: Dali, Siudmak, Beksiński, Vacher and Bouguereau.
