The idea of interference photo-graphics:
Light here is the direct medium for creating graphic compositions. The wave aspect of the nature of light is utilized. A coherent (coherent) beam of light passing through pre-designed objects (holes or masks) deflects at their edges (diffraction), and the deflected fragments of the beam interferes to form interference images on a screen, such as the surface of a CCD matrix. The interference images thus recorded are the basis for further numerical processing.
Compositions are sometimes inspired by readings on optics, quantum mechanics, cosmology, but there are also compositions committed 'without inspiration'.

Graduated from the Faculty of Electronics at Gdansk University of Technology in 1974, followed by a PhD (1983) and habilitation (2004) at the Institute of Electron Technology (ITE) in Warsaw in the field of semiconductor optoelectronics. Professional interests in the design, construction and technology of semiconductor lasers pursued at ITE and then as a researcher, then head of the Department of Optoelectronics at the Institute of Electronic Materials Technology (ITME).
