To Whom This May Concern,

A a Director of the Polish Cultural Festival in Edinburgh 09, I asked Robert for some design and technical preparation of Audio Visuals for a number of concerts and high profile events and support in our Festival brand development.

Robert, when preparing his designs and Audio Visuals, not only uses his creativity but also presents the client with an explanation of the design process and the origins of the elements of the designs, symbols, images used. His information is very well researched and informative.

He has a great knowledge of the Audio Visual techniques and the design process. He has prepared for us a number of Audio Visuals, short movies and web-designs to illustrate the work of the festival, and helped to promote and make the event more attractive. He has also supported light, sound and production technicians, and presented a clear interest and abilities in these fields.

Robert is very open minded and likes working with a team of very different people. He is great diplomat, innovative, inspiring, mature and responsible, very generous with time to help and listen to everyone.

I would not hesitate to contact him for any future cooperation.

This is my privilege recommend Robert Motyka. I have known him since 2004, when Mr. Motyka joined the Polish-German oral history project “Tadeusz Sobolewicz – Biography – Argument”, which is dedicated to memory and experiences of prisoners of the concentration camp in Auschwitz.

I took part in the project as a member of a supervisory team consisting of representatives of the institutions involved in the project, namely the International House of the Youth Meeting, Stätte der Begegnung e.V. in Vlotho, the Bielefeld University and the Jagiellonian University. The oral history project consisted with the idea of cooperation between Polish and German students, who had an opportunity to make interviews with a former Auschwitz prisoner. The binational project was finalized with an exhibition and a book presenting the results of the meetings.

Robert Motyka was invited in this last phase of the work to prepare a design, both of the exhibition and the publication corresponding with the main messages of the project. Very soon, he proved not only the professionalism at work, but first of his commitment to the project and an exceptional gift of empathy of the dimension and educational messages. Having very good relations with the participants of the workshops, he recognized easily their ideas, turning them into the language of art, and then evaluating his own proposals according to wishes of the participants. Willing to listen and able to reflect concepts, Robert Motyka prepared an excellent design visualizing ideas concerning educational and humanistic values of the project. No doubt his work contributed to the success of the exhibition visited by students and pupils, who had no problems in recognizing the main messages.

During the project and work on the publication, I had the opportunity to know Robert Motyka better, as a person committed, sensitive, and open-minded. Because of his personality and world view, apart from his art concepts which I like very much, I had decided to invite Robert Motyka into my next academic project of a publication concerning gender history in Poland. A cover of the book, which he proposed after knowing its content, perfectly corresponds with the ideas and aims of the publication. Robert Motyka managed to show, on one hand, what gender history was really about, and on the other, he expressed a social and political significance of gender history for the contemporary actions for emancipation and tolerance. I do believe the final result of his work – the beautifully designed cover – became an essential part of the book, because his personal involvement and support for the issues of feminism, tolerance and the idea of civil society. That is why I plan to continue cooperation with Robert Motyka in my future projects.

To Whom This May Concern,

On many levels, Robert is a deep and conscientious thinker. His design sense is progressive, clean and mature. His emotional sense of communication is both client and audience sensitive, broad in scope and relevant. I don't think that there is too much out there that Robert couldn't tackle.
