Description
„The Way 2”, mixed media (soil, pearl glue, oil, powder pigment, rosin) on jute, 140 x 150, 2012
Series “The Way” by Marta Pokojowczyk contains mixed media paintings on jute created between 2011 and 2012. Canvases were a part of the diploma concept on the Academy of Fine Art and Design in Wrocław, entitled "The Possibility of an Island". "The Way" do not show any concrete journey but rather represents a state of being. The horizontal line expresses continuity and in the same time it shows an interval, a border dividing surface. Works can function as individual pieces or they can create larger composition where the place of each painting can be different each time.
Series “The Way” iniciated a performative aspect of the discipline of Painting in which an experimental and multistage process of creation is as important as the final piece. To create these raw canvases I had ripped coffee jute sacks and sewed them again on a sewing machine. What intrests me the most is the "adventurous" surface of jute and its vulgar matter, tiny imperfections. Some parts of canvases are left with the original prints fom South America which are a part of the design of each painting.
Series “The Way” juxtaposes in itself pairs of contradictions, harmony and chaos, peace and upcoming storm, continuity and interval, aestethics and vulgarity, lightness and weight.
What’s more, the form of a sack, so interesting in its shape and function, is a prototype of the further woven art works - Canvases 3D.
Marta Pokojowczyk born in 1985 in Wrocław, Poland, graduated Art History at the University of Wroclaw and Painting at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Art and Design in Wroclaw. In 2014/2015 attended a transboundary program Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs in 'Helena Loermans Handwoven Textiles’ Atelier in Odemira, Portugal. Entering the discipline of weaving is the crucial point in artist’s practice which let the author to deepen the issue of the canvas as a groundwork (basis for painting). Designing 3-dimensional textile objects which interweave fine and applied arts is a transposition of the artpiece from a sphere of a pure view directly into the human environment. In 2017 Marta set up Interweave Studio - Atelier where art interlaces with craft and humanities. She is artistically connected with Wroclaw, Suprasl (Podlaskie Voivodeship) and Odemira. Scholarship holder of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland (2019).

Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
