Bartłomiej Szlachcic is a multimedia artist based in Wrocław and the creative director of szlach.studio know previously as odaibe.visuals. He graduated in 2011 from the Faculty of Graphics and Media Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław, earning his MFA in the Multimedia Space Creation Studio led by Prof. Ryszard Jędroś.
Bartłomiej specializes in 3D graphics, visual effects and motion design. He is the original creator of imaginative, experimental audiovisual forms. Drawing and sketching remain his core medium—something he always returns to, no matter how far he ventures into digital space. He designs immersive exhibitions, interactive environments, and multidimensional spaces that invite viewers into altered states of perception. During a 2011 residency at Culture Lab in Newcastle, he created Portrait of the Ghost Drummer, an innovative drawing animation brought to life with motion capture technology.
His work has been commissioned by institutions like the Museum of Modern Art in Wrocław, OASIS Immersion gallery in Montreal, the 3M Innovation Centre in Wrocław, and the Wawel Royal Castle in Cracow. As part of Lunapark Motion Collective, his visuals were featured in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, and he designed the new animated identity for Canal+ Sport channel. In 2018 he co-designed with Elżbieta Leszczyńska-Szlachcic scenographies of biotopes in multi award winning, interdisciplinary Orientarium building.
As a performing audiovisual artist Bartłomiej has appeared at numerous festivals across Europe sharing stages with artists like Biosphere, Monolake and Vladislav Delay. In 2023, he presented his solo exhibition Getting Through in Kassel.
Szlach.studio is a team of multimedia experts led by Bartłomiej, dedicated to creating immersive experiences for the worlds of culture, entertainment, and science. From the first sketch to the final realization, the studio focuses on crafting meaningful, multi-sensory works.
