Born in 1971. A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, Faculty of Conservation and Restoration of Works of Art. The subjects of his works are most often abstract figures set against various types of landscapes and motifs. The artist’s body of work includes landscapes and abstracts, as well as prints and monochromatic paintings.

His paintings focus primarily on color, which is intriguingly selected and combined. The paintings are constructed on a two-dimensional plane, featuring interesting compositional modeling through chiaroscuro and abstract elements. The artist has participated in several solo exhibitions and contributed to group exhibitions both in Poland and abroad, including at the State Art Gallery in Płock, the Dzwonnica Gallery in Warsaw, and the Vienna Cultural Center.
