- "Artistry of Nature - Genesis of Subtlety. Synergy Creates Wholeness," a painting realization at the Faculty of Biology of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan.

He makes his paintings using the oil technique, mainly by applying paint with lasering and using leaks. Thanks to the leaks, he achieves very interesting chiaroscuro effects. He is interested in realistic painting; figurative and portrait, with an emphasis on the female figure. In these representations, he tries to intrigue the viewer, show the beauty of female shapes and the representation of individual characteristics of the portrayed people. Carnal - superficial, but also inner, noble beauty. The inspiration for his creative activities is the beauty of the female body. He believes that the body, is an excellent motif for the study of light. He also takes up the theme of landscape or still life.
