Biography
Painter, also works in drawing and printmaking. Lives and works in Siemianowice Śląskie. From 1983 to 1988 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow, Department of Graphic Arts in Katowice. Currently, he is a full professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice, where he leads the Painting Studio.In 1993, he received a scholarship from "The Pollock - Krasner Foundation Award" in New York.

Initially associated with the "new expression" trend, he quickly developed his own well-recognized, though dynamically changing language of imagery. In his work, he often refers to his private experiences and on this basis builds a universal message revealing existential themes and issues of broadly understood identity in the context of changing cultural, social and political circumstances.

Since 1989, he has painted thirteen series of paintings - including: "Adhesions", "Terra Incognita", "Walls of the Past", "Constructing Identity", "My House is My Language", "Multicultural", "Narcosis and Euphoria", " Zeitgeist".
