BIO:
Born in 1973. Sculpts mainly in stone, but also uses other materials such as concrete, epoxy resin, bronze, aluminum. Heseeks inspiration for his works in nature, both animate and inanimate, and in the human figure treated in a particular way - reduced and simplified to the point of organic abstraction. His works often resemble historical sculptures, monuments or sculptural architectural elements affected by natural erosion. He is inspired by folk and prehistoric art. For several years, the material of his art has been erratic granite boulders, which he transforms into unobvious sculptures. Despite his programmatic avoidance of promotion, he has participated in many plein-air and individual and group exhibitions. His works are in numerous private collections in Poland and around the world, and he has also created several realizations for public spaces.
