Martina Wędzicka-Obuchowicz, also known as WEDZICKA, is a Polish designer for whom boundaries in graphic communication exist only to be redefined. A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk, she combines a seasoned approach to visual identities, book covers, and posters with a dose of experimentation and provocation. Her work has been recognized with numerous prestigious awards, including the Polish Graphic Design Awards (2019, 2021) and a nomination in the “Fresh Blood” category of the Project of the Year competition (2018/2019).
Alongside precise and analytical projects, she explores themes such as chance and human error. In her practice, she often dissects and rearranges graphic elements, photographs, and typography to create expressive and unconventional visuals. Her recent works are marked by strong contrasts and geometric forms, through which she examines the possibilities of the poster medium. Yet beyond form lies a powerful message: for her, design is a committed stance – an instrument to address the role of women in the creative industries, social justice, and the changes the world needs.
