Aditional Information
Period Contemporary (1945-today)
We do not realize how many symbols are encoded in our heads to understand the space and reality that surrounds us. Thanks to this, we can easily recognize objects, shapes, faces, and more. It is not a problem for us to properly recognize the subject despite the lack of basic information as it is in my work in the series "Faces and symbols". To create this series I was inspired by the works of the world's greatest artists, I tried to combine elements of the artist's work with my vision of their world. Presented at the solo exhibition "Project 3.0" in January 2022 at the Art Gallery in Warsaw.
Artist Biography

In 2004 I started my adventure with art at Secondary Art School. After graduation, I began studying at the Art Institute at Opole University in the field of Artistic Education and New Media.

In my master's thesis, I describe Street Art, in which I find most of my inspiration. Since then, I have been creating a series of works inspired by Banksy, Shepard Fairey, and many more graffiti artists. Art gives me the opportunity to express myself and my emotions in a very ecstatic and colorful, crazy way. It also presents a surprising combination of traditional painting with the urban style.

The second part of my art is wildlife. By illustrating wild animals with grey backgrounds and splatter details I’m showing my current thoughts and feelings about the world around me. Many of the works were created with the help of my authorial technique with textures of acrylic paint and metallic silver and copper colors. I'm a member of the Union of Polish Artists and Designers.
