Visual artist, painter. Graduated with honors from the Faculty of Painting at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts in 2009. Participant of many exhibitions, individual and collective. His works are in the collection of the Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw, in the collection of the Gallery of Activities and in private collections. In 2010 he received the Artistic Scholarship of the City of Warsaw in the category of visual arts. He works in painting, drawing, creates: assemblages, collages, installations and painting objects, as well as poetry and audio poetry. At the beginning of his artistic activity, in the second half of the 1990s, he focused mainly on painting and street art activity. In art, he is a promoter of the theory of the absurd, which he pursues and expresses with the so-called absurdism, or absurd realism. Creator of new realities, meanings, contents, especially within painting. In the unique circle of his interests in the field of visual arts is the formation, creation of a separate, peculiar image of the modern world. He is an artist on the move, leaving the remains of associations, consciously abandoning the creation of a uniform style of his own works.
