In his paintings, he creates a fantastical world suspended between dream and reality, inhabited by characters or avatars that invite identification and exploration. His melancholic imagery evokes a longing for a lost, instinctive life in harmony with nature.
Spending most of his life in a small town in southern Poland shaped his artistic sensitivity and visual language. Isolated from institutional structures and immersed in the mountainous landscape, he developed a recurring motif—figures within nature. Initially lost and overwhelmed, these figures gradually find companionship, adapt, and eventually assert dominance, turning the landscape into a mere backdrop.
