Graduated from the Józef Pankiewicz State High School of Fine Arts in Katowice, profile: workshop and computer graphics, title: art technician (1999-2004); Photography and Advertising Organization Study in Katowice, 2-year (2004-2005), Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw, Faculty of Painting and Sculpture, direction: painting, completed with the title of Master of Arts and obtaining a diploma (2005-2010). His work has gone through various stages; from printmaking to drawing to painting. His fascination with painting has been relatively short-lived, since 2010, when he created a painting annex to his diploma in drawing. After graduating from the academy, he focused exclusively on painting. He became fascinated with expressionism and prehistoric art. Both of these concepts are more or less prevalent in the artist's works, both through form and content. Recently, he has been involved in co-founding a gallery that promotes modern painting with Christian themes. At the same time, he is constantly searching for the right painting language that would unite all fascinations, subject matter and form.
