Since May 2007. with Wojciech Bąkowski, Tomasz Mroz, Konrad Smoleński, Piotr Bosacki, Magdalena Starska and Iza Tarasewicz co-founded the artistic group Penerstwo. His artistic interests oscillate around issues of belonging and identity, history, race, religion, tensions between the center and periphery and the social margin. His early paintings are clearly filled with irony and an attempt to recognize concepts such as morality, good, evil, sacred and profane. In 2012, the artist was nominated for the "Polityka" Passport.
