Martyna Benedyka

Martyna Benedyka (b. 1991, Poland) is a multidisciplinary visual and performing artist and classically trained coloratura soprano, working with image, voice, and sound. Drawing from a rich cultural and linguistic background, she creates across English, German, French, Italian, Romanian, and Japanese. Working across painting, drawing, photography, textile work, collage, installation, and sound, she focuses on the instability of memory - both personal and collective - while exploring how these moments affect our sense of identity and our experience of beauty. She studied Art and Design at the Gray’s School of Art in Scotland, UK, graduating with a First Class BA (Hons) in Fine Art Painting; Classical Singing (Opera, Lied, Oratorio) and Music Pedagogy at the George Enescu National University of Arts; and Baroque Singing at the Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music. She has exhibited in the UK, Italy, Germany, Austria, France, Ireland, Denmark, Poland, Czechia, Romania, Estonia, Latvia, Iceland, South Korea, Switzerland, Australia, Canada, and the USA. She is a member of Futures Photography, The Netherlands and Art Contemporain en Bretagne, France, among others.
