About Artist

Marta Arendarczyk

I don’t do sessions — I meet people. Their light, their tenderness, their chaos. Sometimes it’s a conversation. Sometimes silence. Sometimes just an accident of light. I don’t pose. I don’t fix. I don’t pretend. I simply stay — where emotion becomes an image, and the image becomes proof that we truly lived. Because we did truly lived. Marta - photographer, poet and painter. I don’t take photos — I meet people. With their light, tenderness, and chaos. My work moves between silence and emotion, often blurring the line between what’s seen and what’s felt. Deeply sensitive to small gestures, to breath, to life itself — I capture the quiet truth that appears when we stop pretending. My images are less about perfection and more about presence. About being there, fully, when something real unfolds.
