Hello, I'm Marta Oliehoek-Samitowska, the artist behind Marta's Film Cuts - the art project that allows me to combine my two great passions - my love of cinema and my love of art and creativity. 
I am a huge fan of classic Hollywood glamour,  Alfred Hitchcock, film noir, Universal horror, Val Lewton productions, Italian giallo, surrealist cinema and European arthouse films (especially French). All these influences are visible in my work, as my pieces are predominantly based on my favourite films or inspired by my beloved film stars. Occasionally, I also create paper cut portraits of some of my favourite musicians.
My main tools are paper, scissors, glue and adhesive (foam) tape; plus hobby jewels / beads or craft felt.
