Graduate of the Jacek Malczewski School of Fine Arts in Częstochowa, awarded by the Observer of the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice for the entire diploma. In 2012 - 2017, a student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź at the Faculty of Graphics and Painting.

"Many of my works are an attempt to reflect an emotional state, to encapsulate it in an image. Joy or excitement are rarely a prelude to the upcoming composition. Feelings such as anger or grief have the strongest charge, and they can arouse me the most. From my point of view, such energy can be transformed into something interesting. I want my painting, besides being a study of form, to be a vehicle for this energy extracted from emotions and formed anew. This new creation is a kind of personification of feelings, frozen in time, enclosed sometimes in rock and sometimes in corroding metal. Captured in that imagined moment when it tries to break out of its current state, finding itself somewhere between cause and effect. This whole process of freeing myself from unwanted emotions and transforming them into something new is for me a form of self-therapy, self-development."[BS]
