An award-winning illustrator who loves to creates pieces filled with texture, magic and colors.
I’ve been working as a full-time illustrator since 2018, but I’ve been painting for as long as I can remember. Fantasy stories and illustrations has always been my greatest passion, and I began my career through creating fantasy illustrations. My first published artworks appeared in Fantom magazine. Focusing on creating imaginative worlds led me to children’s illustration, whitch remains my favorite form of expression to this day. I also have experience working as a character designer and concept artist. As a freelancer I also created storyboards and illustrations for 2D animations.
After 6 years of gaining experience I mainly focus on kidlit art, but I also create illustrations for older audience,such as fantasy art, posters, portraits, book covers, concept arts, character designs, art for media campaigns, board games, and patterns. I create digital artworks with traditional media touch.
In my work I’m greatly inspired by nature, animals – especially my beloved dog Fury, people and their stories shared over good food.

„From the very start of our collaboration I knew Martyna was the right illustrator for my book. Not only was her artwork beautiful and enchanting, Martyna was excellent to work with as we brought the words and ideas I had for imagery to life on the page. I have had so many people compliment how beautiful the artwork in my book is, and children absolutely love the pictures. If you are looking for a unique and talented illustrator for your work then Martyna is the one for the job! I would love to collaborate with her again on future projects.”

„Working with Martyna on my children’s book, In Search of Happiness, was an experience beyond words—quite literally. We understood each other effortlessly, almost without speaking. She didn’t just illustrate the book; she brought its soul to life. Her incredible talent and deep understanding amplified the core message in ways I never could have imagined. Every illustration carries a depth that makes the story a million times richer, more meaningful, and more beautiful. Working with her is effortless, inspiring, and truly magical.”
