Painter, graphic artist. Graduated from the Faculty of Arts of the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin. Diploma in printmaking (etching) in the Gravure Print Studio under Prof. Artur Popek. Paints in acrylic technique with the addition of laser medium. He creates paintings in the style of geometric abstraction inspired by architecture, typography and other objects observed in the real world. He combines real shapes into abstract forms, which, interpenetrating each other, create new, more complicated patterns. He juxtaposes a precisely defined form with a naturally imperfect, this form creating and filling structure. It is important for him to maintain a balance between geometric precision and imperfect textures. An important feature of his work is the modularity that takes different forms. The paintings are sometimes created in series, allowing them to be freely juxtaposed and create larger compositions. He has lived and worked in Portugal for several years. He regularly participates in the periodically organized P'LA ARTE art fair in Lisbon. He participates in exhibitions in Portugal and Poland.
