BIO:
Born on June 13, 1994 in Luban. In 2019 he defended his Master of Arts degree in Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk. In 2018 he received the Award of the President of the City of Gdansk for the best student of the department. He has participated in numerous open-air stone sculpture workshops in Finland, Poland, the Czech Republic or snow sculpture in Szklarska Poreba. He has participated in individual exhibitions in Gdansk (Club Zejman, Brama Nizinna) and group exhibitions (including Best Diplomas of the Academy of Fine Arts 2019). He has been nominated as one of the top ten sculptors in the MArteLive 2022 international competition. He is particularly concerned with the subject of the mental and spiritual condition of man. In each portrait, he strives to reflect the spirit of the model or his own reflection. He portrays man as a strong, dignified being, in control of his will - which is reflected in the name of his studio "Art of the Will" in Wolimierz, Lower Silesia.
