Marta Vaarik

Born: 1987-09-27

Marta Vaarik (born September 27, 1986) is an Estonian artist. Marta Vaarik is an interdisciplinary artist who uses painting, video and performance to depict personal stories and bold gestures that challenge cultural norms, breaking traditional narratives. With a high social sensitivity, Vaarik researches issues related to minority rights and works with young people with mental health problems and at-risk behaviors dealing with reintegration. In contrast to the gloomy themes, we see Vaarik's artworks in rather frivolous tones. Her works have been shown in many galleries, including a group exhibition in the Kunstihoone and the Heit gallery in Berlin, and solo exhibitions in Vabadus, Draakon and EKA galleries. Vaarik has acquired a bachelor's degree in painting and a master's degree in photography at the Estonian Academy of Arts and has experience as a film director. Most of nublu's music videos have been directed and conceived by Marta Vaarik, including "Für Oksana", which was also her debut as a director.
