visual artist's bio, cv, list of exhibitions, awards, achievements
Marta Wapiennik lives and works in Cracow, Poland, born there in 1988.
She graduated from the Graphic Department at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in 2013 and has a diploma in Screenprinting.
Academic curators chose her works for the group exhibition Palace of Art in Cracow that gathered the department's most intriguing recent pieces. Some part of Wapiennik's diploma got into The Polish Print Triennial, the oldest and the most prestigious overview of Polish contemporary graphic art.
