I was born and reside in Sopot, Poland.
In 2007 I was awarded a diploma in painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk,
at the Department of Artistic Education in the area of Fine Arts.
I studied under
Professor Henryk Cześnik and received artistic support from Professor Maria Targońska.
This is my second diploma in the field of art. Earlier, I graduated from the National Music School
(secondary level) in Gdańsk with the violin as the main instrument and I worked as an orchestra
musician in the Baltic Opera in Gdańsk and in the Musical Theatre in Gdynia.
I participated in solo and group exhibitions. My works can be found in many collections both in Poland and
abroad.
I am the winner of the prize funded by the company PRAMERICA on the 24th Festival of Contemporary Polish
Painting in Szczecin in 2012.

I am loyal to realism and figurative painting. The topics of my paintings are mostly associated with the human figure, so I paint both the outward – portraits, acts – but also the thoughts that we know as the truths of life in form of aphorisms and proverbs. This allows me to offer the world of the absurd and irrational – a fantastic realism. I paint characters and the phenomena related to them objectively; details are very important because they build the truth and differences at the same time, and "the devil is in the detail". Despite the realistic details I try to bring in the mysterious and supernatural in order to add some magic to my creations, adding effects through chiaroscuro and strong, saturated colour.
