Member of ZPAP since 2011, recommended by Professors S. Kortyka and W. Kuczma of the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw. Since 1975, he has been engaged in artistic activity. For a number of years he practiced traditional landscape painting. Then a trend close to fantasy realism was close to him. Since 2000, he has increasingly leaned towards abstraction. Since then, he has been constantly experimenting, using authorial techniques and technologies in addition to traditional methods. He introduces various applications to his paintings, reaching for the collage technique. The works have a varied surface.
