A graduate of the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts, after graduation he took up graphic design and painting. He has had more than 20 solo exhibitions at home and abroad, including: Poland, Germany and the USA; took part in more than a dozen group exhibitions, including in Poland, France, Italy, the USA and Japan. In 2005, he was awarded a scholarship from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. When asked about the genesis of his work, he says: "My painting is a joyful world. A world of memories, our desires and elation from our youth, as well as dreams and carefree childhood years. Hidden from everyone when we are adults, it is, after all, the world to which we so often long."
