His paintings can be found in the District Museum in Ciechanow, among other places.
At the basis of the aesthetics of the presented painting and the quality of the work lies a skillfully characterized landscape, the harmony of vivid, attuned and sophisticated colors, as well as a subject that encourages artistic reflection and, contrary to conventional rules, it is in nature that the appropriate means of expression are found.
