The artist's works are in the collections of Polish museums and in collections at home and abroad. The artist mainly exhibits painting and drawing. Initially, he painted genre scenes inspired by village life and nature. Since the 1980s, his work has been landscape, mainly the Bug River, and portrait painting. The paintings have universal yet symbolic qualities, especially the numerous portraits of the artist's mother and the bends of the wild Bug River, painted directly from nature, ranging from realistic to abstract. Many well-known art historians, experts on the subject speak about the work of Stanislaw Baj, his paintings are known and recognized in the country and abroad, but the artist - the man, is known only to those closest to him - and whoever met Stanislaw Baj on his way, remains faithful to him.
