His work, oscillates in the circle of surrealism, thanks to his contact with the art of Marian Michalik as well as Jerzy Duda-Gracz and Sabina Lonta, from an early age he has developed a unique aesthetic sensitivity, which he expresses in sometimes ephemeral, fairy-tale compositions painted in the difficult, unforgiving pastel technique.
