oil, UV medium, canvas, 60 x 100 cm, signed on the back
Studied at the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning at the Wrocław University of Technology. He says about himself that he is not an artist yet, for now he is a painter. He treats his paintings not as art, but as buildings. They have to be designed, preferably if they are individualized, and on top of that, they have to have a specific use. He weaves signs, inscriptions, dates or symbols into his paintings by several millimeters, so that only the owner of the painting, can find them and read their meaning. The most important thing in his paintings is the balance, between function, subject and technique. This is a direct reference to the understanding of architecture, as a conglomerate of form function and construction
