A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, he does oil painting, mainly landscapes, drawing subjects from nature and imagination. In his works he refers to the tradition of 19th century realism. His creative attitude is mainly expressed in enriching landscapes with his own feelings. Depending on the mood or character of the area, lyrical landscapes are created, intriguing with inner restlessness.
He generally spends spring, summer and autumn near Mielnik, in Podlasie. His Bug River landscapes show scenery typical of the area: vast, flat spaces, the lazy water of the majestic Bug River, dense groups of greenery, and a cloudy sky. Despite the peculiarity of the motifs, the paintings are far from the convention of "painted views," as they treat the reality of the Mielnica countryside primarily as an area of artistic interpretation. A patch of field, a meadow, a clump of trees - dramatized with a predatory layer of clouds, suggestive color, make a banal subject an expressive composition. Elsewhere, the character of the image is determined by the play of shimmering color spots, which allows to register fleeting impressions, the passing of light and time. All this causes the paintings to become an expression of individual experiences of the artist and the viewer.
