Graduate of the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, studying easel painting in the studio of Prof. P. Klugowski - annex to the diploma in stained glass in 2012, and Graphic Design in the studio of Prof. W. Michorzewski - annex to the diploma in photography in 2013.
In painting, he is most interested in man, but also in nature. He cultivates oil painting, acrylic painting and watercolor. He bases his painting on realism, hyperrealism, surrealism and symbolism. Particularly close to the artist is symbolism, therefore, every painting he creates tells a story and talks about something, and no element on the canvas is the work of chance.
The artist also tries not to give up on images that often appear in the phase of half-sleep - they are often snapshots like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, which he then tries to put together into a whole or a source of inspiration for creating another painting. In this way he can lead the viewer into the depths of fantastic, surreal, fairy-tale worlds, not devoid of a symbolic layer, in which everything is possible, and the only limit, is the limit of our imagination.
