Marta Timmer

Visual Artist based in Calgary

Marta Timmer is a multidisciplinary artist, graphic designer, and illustrator based in Calgary, Canada. In her current artistic work, she uses glitch, collage, and compositing to explore themes of memory, beauty, decay, and emotion, aiming to capture the elusive energies that lie beyond human perception.

Classically trained in painting and drawing, Marta enjoys mixing old techniques with new media to express existential angst in the context of technology, and the pursuit of the sublime.

Marta holds an MFA in New Media from the University of Lethbridge, a BFA in Art (Photography) with a minor in Psychology from the University of Calgary, and a Multimedia Production Diploma from Lethbridge College.

Marta has exhibited world-wide in traditional and digital contexts, has taken part in art talks, presentations, conferences, and created several public art installations. She continues to develop her artistic practice in physical and digital mediums.
