Living in UK, with roots in Poland, Marta has built one of the most magical libraries dedicated to the universe of Lewis Carroll, with more than a thousand different editions of Alice. 📚📚📚
Her Instagram and website are true portals: each book is photographed like a work of art, and many covers come alive through creative animations, as if Wonderland itself were unfolding from the pages. Her collection began during the pandemic as a creative solution for times of crisis, and it has blossomed like an enchanted garden 🌵🌵🌵.
Today it brings together modern and contemporary illustrated books, international translations, limited editions, art books, and memorabilia. Her taste is eclectic: from Victorian Tenniel to surrealism and psychedelia, passing through gothic, kawaii, steampunk, feminist, manga, collage, and digital arts.
Marta makes her research available to fellow collectors through a meticulous catalog on her website, where every item is carefully documented, forming a living archive. She also takes part in collector groups, sharing discoveries, trading editions, and collaborating on research, strengthening the global Carrollian community.
She is also an artist: she has reimagined Carrollian characters to gift fellow collectors, creating a graphic and hypnotic style that combines intricate, repetitive geometric patterns with symbolic and narrative figures, uniting the abstract and the figurative, the decorative and the literary. Look at her works at @OrankiArt.
Alongside Alice, she also collects treasures inspired by the Mexican Day of the Dead and editions of Gabriel García Márquez’s 'One Hundred Years of Solitude', expanding her Wonderland into new worlds of myth, memory, and magic. In her hands, books are not just objects to be stored, they are living wonders, each one a doorway to infinite realms, where curiosity never ends and Wonderland keeps on multiplying.
✨ Congratulations, Marta, for your dedication not only to acquiring such wonders but also to generously sharing them with the world. ✨
