Biography
He took his first steps on his creative path under the guidance of Miroslawa Lickiewicz, a Legnica-based artist and educator. At that time, Science-Fiction art became the young artist's main inspiration. In the mid-1990s he discovered the work of Salvador Dali, and other Surrealists, while in 1998, under the influence of Wojciech Siudmak's exhibition at the Legnica Copper Museum, as well as a meeting with the artist himself, he decided to devote himself to work in such directions as surrealism and fantastic realism. In the same year, he also began studying at the Glogow Fine Arts College, where he met a well-known Glogow painter and poet; Telemach Pilitsidis. Under his direction, he earned a degree in painting in 2001.
