Of Polish origins, Marta Czok was born in Beirut (Lebanon) in 1947. The following year her family moved to London where she completed her training at St Martin’s School of Art, taking part for several years in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions.

In the past 25 years her works have been exhibited in Europe and America also as part of the project “Alitalia per l’Arte”. In 2000 Marta Czok was commissioned a triptych which was donated to Pope John Paul II for his eightieth birthday. In 2008 the Polish national television has dedicated a documentary to Marta Czok focusing on the relationship between her work and the Second World War.

Among her most recent exhibitions, several deserve a special mention. Firstly, her anthological exhibition held in 2005 at the Musei di San Salvatore in Lauro in Rome and secondly, the solo exhibition held in the Pomposa’s Abbey (near Ferrara) in 2006 and finally the exhibition held in Palazzo Ferraioli in January 2009, dedicated to Children in War and the Shoah. This July she has won the press prize with a painting participating in the exhibition Artabù - Icone della trasgressione, a special project within the Giffoni Film Festival.
