He has received scholarships from Location One and the Skowheagen International Residency, as well as from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, the National Institute of Culture and the Adam Mickiewicz Institute.

Bąkowski's work can be described as an exploration of the area of actual and potential collective consciousness, contemporary phantasms, fears and perceptions, in a world whose reception is dominated by media messages. At the same time, his realizations are full of irony and humor. In recent years, the artist has been involved in futurological visions, science fiction culture and space conquest.
