IN BRIEF:

My path to becoming an artist was a determined one. Despite the fact that my family did literally everything possible to detract me from this career, as in their view, I was meant to be a scholar - hence my philological studies – as soon as I gained financial independence I returned to art. I
began private tutelage at professor Ryszard Hunger's, the then dean of the Academy of Arts in Lodz, Poland. He introduced me first to the amateur artists association. After a few years I decided to start artistic studies and joined artistic graphics studies at WSINF [A private computer college in Lodz] where, under the artistic supervision by professor Grzegorz Chojnacki, the then dean of the Academy of Arts, I continued my artistic education. Soon after completing my studies, I was accepted to ZPAP Polish Professional Artists Association, and 4 years later won a place in "Loving Vincent" crew, with whom I have contributed to the film's receiving the Oscar nomination for world's first fully painted animated feature film in 2017. Currently I take Inspiration from modern technologies and latest political events. I place my symbolic, neo-human protagonists in a digital void and let the audience tell their stories.
I was the organiser and curator of three “Loving Vincent” artists exhibitions.
