Biography
Studied at the Faculty of Graphic Arts, Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow from 1992 to 1997, where he defended his diploma in the Drawing Studio of Prof. Włodzimierz Kotkowski. He lives and works in Cracow. His mediums are painting, drawing and painting installation. He is interested in the moment of transition of photography into painting. He is inspired by images from the world of mass media, especially American advertising and photography from the 1950s. The kind of metaphorical quality he achieves in his works is largely due to the way he paints. He has participated in numerous group exhibitions. Individually, he has exhibited his works at the Zderzak Gallery in Cracow, the Pies Gallery in Poznań, the Żak Gallery in Berlin and the Bunkier Sztuki Gallery in Cracow, among others.
