MUNTHE ART MONDAY:
MARTA BEYGER
Please introduce yourself and tell us about what you do.
My name is Marta Beyger, and I’m a Polish visual artist working primarily with abstract painting and sculptural forms. My practice explores the space where intuition precedes conscious creation.
Although my artistic language is abstract, my foundation is deeply rooted in academic training and realism, which continue to shape the way I see and create. I don’t like to confine myself to a single artistic discipline. Instead, I explore different mediums, allowing each idea to find its own form.
Before dedicating myself fully to fine art, I worked as a tattoo artist, an experience that refined my craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Can you name some other female artist that inspires you and explain why they do so?
I’m inspired by many artists. What I admire most is not a particular style, but the courage to develop an authentic visual language and remain true to it over time. Below are a few artists whose work has especially inspired me recently.
Karimah Hassan inspires me through her fearless use of color and emotional abstraction.
Nuria Maria reminds me that subtlety and silence can be just as powerful as bold expression.
Koruth creates deeply poetic and mysterious imagery that feels both intimate and timeless.
Demina has a remarkable sensitivity for atmosphere, memory, and the quiet beauty of nature.
Mia Pensa inspires me with her vibrant visual storytelling and the way she transforms ornament and pattern into contemporary painting.
Miriam Hoffmann combines extraordinary technical mastery with psychological depth, making her paintings feel both classical and intensely human.
Ksenia Shinkarenko fascinates me with her minimal visual language and her ability to evoke emotion through light, texture, and restrained composition.

What would you like people to notice in your artwork?
I hope people allow themselves to experience my work before trying to understand it. I’m less interested in telling a specific story and more interested in creating a space where viewers can connect with their own emotions, memories, and intuition.
If there is one thing I would like people to notice, it is the subtle moment where intention gives way to instinct - where the work begins to exist on its own.
I don’t want to give viewers answers - I want to leave them with better questions.
Could you explain more about how being a woman has affected your career?
Being a woman has shaped my career in many ways, but above all it has taught me resilience. I’ve learned to trust my intuition, embrace sensitivity as a strength, and continue creating even through uncertainty and change.
As a single mother of two young boys, I’ve also had to redefine what success means. Balancing motherhood with an artistic career requires discipline, patience, and the ability to keep moving forward despite challenges. Rather than limiting me, these experiences have deepened my perspective and found their way into my work.
I hope we continue moving toward an art world where artists are valued for the authenticity of their voice, regardless of gender.
What has been the most challenging aspect of being a woman in the arts?
I think women are still sometimes underestimated or judged by their appearance before their work. That is a reality many of us have experienced.
Personally, though, I never allowed it to define my path. I’ve always had confidence in my craftsmanship and my manual skills, so I never felt the need to prove that I belonged. Instead, I focused on developing my work and letting it speak for itself.
Over time, I’ve realized that my sensitivity, intuition, and empathy are not weaknesses - they are some of my greatest creative strengths. Today, I see being a woman not as a limitation, but as something that has enriched both my perspective and my artistic practice.
