Graduated from Antoni Kenar High School of Fine Arts in Zakopane in 1982. Between 1983 and 1990, he studied at the Faculty of Pedagogy and Art at the Silesian University Branch in Cieszyn. He defended his diploma in graphic arts in the studio of Prof. Eugeniusz Delekta in 1990. Twice a scholarship holder of the Ministry of Culture. His work includes painting, sculpture, installations and drawings. He also realizes music-visual shows. For him, abstraction is a starting point, a language that demands to be complemented by organic forms. Lutynski is also a sound artist and his first visual-musical actions date back to the early 1990s, with the first Music for Animals held at the Starmach Gallery in 1999. Lutyensky's works have been exhibited in such places as the Zachęta Gallery, Art in General in New York and Studiogalerie in Berlin. His works are in the National Museum in Cracow, among others. He lives and works in Cracow.

The phenomenon of multidimensionality is the essence of the mystery in which we humans, submerged in matter, face the Universe. Modern physics is struggling with the problem of "What is matter ?ˮ. Existence, as well as non-existence in matter - at the same time does not find understanding in the intellectual imagination of modern man. It is no longer Shakespeareʼs "To be or not to beˮ, but "to be and not to be at the same time, that is the question...ˮ. Another difficult concept to imagine remains - infinity - surprisingly close to man. It occurs most often in the realm of ideas, as an inaccessible space, a distant dimension of reality. Nothing could be further from the truth, billions of light invisible particles, whose presence we do not sense, fly through our bodies, rushing through our planet from infinity into eternity. The stability of our bodies depends on a trillion operations, performed every second at the speed of light, or by realizing that the atoms of which we are made are 100% immortal and cannot be killed in any way. Art, in this case, is another language of communication between the visible and invisible worlds, a means of learning about multidimensionality, discovering hidden meanings, interpreting the neural connections between our brain and the edge of the universe, the electron and proton of our consciousness, in the ocean of events.
