Winner of the Grand Prix in the 37th Wladyslaw Strzeminski Competition - Fine Arts 2020, and the grand prize in the national competition artNoble - for the most interesting diploma from public art schools. Since 2022, he has been a technical employee at the Institute of Artistic Graphics at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz. His works are in opposition to the dominant cultural representations of the human world, where man surrounds himself with mirrors, stories about himself, and encloses himself in the circulation of the anthropic universe. Disturbing representations remind us of inadequacy .
The work is printed from three component stencils. Printed on moist, fine paper, using the correct order of matrices. A separate roller was used for each color or gradient.
The series of works is in opposition to the dominant cultural representations of the human figure and references to the human world, making man surround himself with mirrors, stories about himself and enclosing him inside the circulation of the anthropic universe.
Animal characters integrated into landscapes, being in interaction with man-made objects give them a perverse meaning. The disturbing representations remind us of the roots of the human world and the plasticity of what is meaningful in it, thus evoking the impression of its incompleteness, insufficiency. The series received 1st prize in the national competition of the best master's degrees in fine arts in the year "ArtNoble", Zyrardow, 2022 - during the 16th edition of the Interdisciplinary Art Festival in Zyrardow.
