He draws inspiration for his works from nature, processing nature motifs so that they lose their original form, creating a kind of organic abstraction. The main motifs in his works are cows, the human body and willows.

His art diploma received an honorable mention for the best diploma at the Department of Graphic Arts and took part in the "Diploma 2021, Best Diplomas of the Faculty of Fine Arts at UMK" exhibition organized by the CCA. In 2022, he received an Honorable Mention from the Rector of the Academy of Fine Arts at the Second National Art Competition New Situations "Contrast" and an honorable mention from the Art Vue Foundation 2022 for participation in the Art Vue Foundation 2022 Award competition.
