I practise graphic arts in such techniques as etching, dry point and aquatint with collage. Apart from my own works, I prepare on order of gallery: closed, numbered graphic editions with author's titles and subject matter or comprising topics and elements suggested by an interested Gallery.
I also practise painting using the techniques of oil and acrylic paints on canvas, gouache and watercolour on paper - on the ground of multi-texture collage of canvas, old letters, documents, varied multicoloured cardboard and paper.
If I were to name the style I represent in modern fine arts, I would describe it as soft and abstract figuration. My art is a never-ending story about the form and emotional state of modern man. This is an attempt to create a universal world of own emotions, experiences and feelings. This is an unending attept to come up to the ideal, the absolute, to find the answer to the eternal questions. This is the eternal longing to be better than oneself.
If You are and owner of modern art. Gallery, a collector, a curator of state or private collections and if You are interested in purchase of my works or broadly understood co-operation in the field of promotion and sale of works of modern arts anywhere in the world, than please contact me.
I live and work in Katowice, Poland.
