I was born and raised in Poland but moved to New Mexico three years ago. This change was probably the main reason why I got back to my dream of becoming an artist after 10 years of neglecting it. Self-taught in drawing, I studied painting with Leah Lopez in Los Alamos, NM and Leonid Gervitz and Gregg Kreutz in Taos, NM. I constantly strive to improve my art with each passing day.

Old masters, everyday life and dreams are my teachers. The harmony, beauty and craftsmanship are my goals.

For the last 8 years I have worked as a graphic designer. The influence of graphic design principles on my drawings and paintings can be easily recognized in the way I make use of contrast and light, decide on composition and pay attention to details. I work mostly in graphite pencil and oil paints.

I strive for realism but not photorealistic reproduction. I find it enjoyable and satisfying to draw and paint faces and figures. In fact, the human condition is my main interest even if the subject is a still life.
