Polish self-taught painter. He lives and works in Dąbrowa Górnicza. At the beginning of his creative path he dealt with drawing, but after some time he took up a brush and tried his hand at painting. With acrylics he stayed until today and continues to explore the secrets of this painting technique. He describes his work as "melancholic industrialism." He is the author of a short story in the universe of the computer game S.T.A.L.K.E.R, "Requiem for Burnt Bodies," and two unpublished books, the first of which is titled "Sacrament of Awakenings," while the second, is quietly waiting for its time. He has participated in individual and group exhibitions in Katowice, Dabrowa Gornicza, Wroclaw, Imielin, Pszczyna and Sosnowiec, among others. His works could also be seen in the exhibitions of the series "Cats from Mars" and "Duality of the World", which were held in Czeladz, Katowice, Wroclaw, Torun, Gdansk and Krakow. In 2019, his works were accepted and included in the album "Polish Painting 2019" published by Promocjaart. In 2020, his paintings appeared in the pages of the quarterly magazine dedicated to broadly defined culture and art "Post Scriptum", which can be read in their native languages by residents of Poland, England and Russia.
