Creates and lives in Cracow. Graduated from the Faculty of Arts at the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, graduating in linocut from Prof. M. Snoch in 1997. During and immediately after his studies, he dealt mainly with drawing and printmaking. While already in Cracow in 2002-2005, he worked as a stained-glass painter at S.G. Żeleński, where he created his own stained-glass realizations. Fascinated by the possibilities offered by glass and color, he begins to work as a painter gradually focusing only on paintings. The following years bring travels and exhibitions in Taiwan, a country with which the artist has been connected to this day. Cooperation with two Taiwanese universities: Fu-Jen in Taipei and Da-Yeh in Changhua, and prestigious schools (Wenhua-Beitou) result in new interactive art projects. "Human Trees" and "The Story of Water" are the artist's original projects, resulting in 3 major solo exhibitions in 2015-16 at galleries in Taipei and Hsinchu.
