Born in 1996 in Płock.

He graduated from the Władysław Drapiewski Private High School of Fine Arts, specializing in visual advertising in the studio of Magdalena Sikorska-Tokarska, M.A. (2012–2016). He is a graduate of the Department of Graphic Arts at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Nicolaus Copernicus University. He completed and defended his thesis in the relief printing studio under Prof. Marek Basiul in 2021.

He works primarily in the woodcut technique but also experiments with techniques such as intaglio, collography, linocut, and mokulito. He is also involved in pinhole photography and painting. He draws inspiration for his work from nature, transforming natural motifs so that they lose their original form, creating a kind of organic abstraction. The main motifs in his work are cows, the human body, and willow trees.

He is currently a doctoral student at the Artium Humaniorum Doctoral School at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. His artistic portfolio includes several solo exhibitions and approximately 25 group exhibitions in Poland and abroad.

His art diploma received an honorable mention for the best diploma from the Department of Graphic Arts, and he participated in the exhibition “Diploma 2021: The Best Diplomas of the Faculty of Fine Arts at Nicolaus Copernicus University,” organized by the Center for Contemporary Art (CSW). In 2022, he received the Rector’s Honorary Award from the Academy of Fine Arts at the 2nd National Art Competition “New Situations: Contrast” and an honorable mention from the Art Vue Foundation 2022 for his participation in the competition for the Art Vue Foundation Award 2022.
