Born 1989 in Zielona Góra, Poland, lives and works in Cracow, Poland.
It has always been difficult for him to verbalize my thoughts. Much simpler is translating them into a visual form. These most intricate thoughts he depicts on canvas. Through own symbolism and assocation he portrays confusing stories, scenes from movies, books or processes and devices that surround him in everyday life he has a vague idea how they works.
After long struggles in painting in a thick layer of paint, drawing in it, engraving and imprinting simple lines and shapes he returned to classical painting with smoothly laid stains, and glazes. He does not know how long it will take, the form of works he does often change. He tries not to attach to the style.
Next to painting which is an extremely individual activity I am involved in Potencja – artists-run space based in Cracow (PL) With other founders – Karolina Jabłońska and Tomasz Kręcicki they are curating exhibitions, making scenography, creating sculptures, objects, producting films, music, etc.
