​

I was born and raised in a small town in Upper Silesia in Poland. The town is located 

within border of Jurajski Park Narodowy ( Jurassic National Park ) . It is a place where nature

is protected and natural geological formations coexist with ruins of medieval castles ( Szlak Orlich Gniazd ) Trail of Eagle Nest.

​

Since childhood I have always been fascinated with observing the phenomenon of light as well as nature. Because I grew up in a family where the tradition of art was deeply rooted, it was not difficult for me to discover the passion I had for painting and drawing.

​

With time , I began to develop an interest in architecture as well, As a result, I choose 

my high school's curriculum to be more focused on architectural studies. After that, I began

the study of traditional graphic and fine arts at the Fine Arts Academy. I learned and experimented

with the many graphic techniques such as lithography, serigraphy, woodcat, etching, photography, 

graphic design, sculpture, painting and drawing.

​

After receiving my master's from the Academy of Fine Arts in 1999. I began working as a designer and illustrator for Discau Advertising Agency in  Katowice, Poland. A year later, I began working for Leo Burnett, an American Advertising Agency, witch had one of its branches located in Warsaw.

Then, I worked for a newspaper called Trybuna Slaska ( Silesian Tribune ) as a graphic artist

and illustrator.

​

In  2004 I immigrated to the United States where I lived in Chicago, and where I exhibited my paintings in several galleries ( Individual and Group Exhibits ).
