I think that our existence in a philosophical/cosmic sense is senseless. Because that we should not take ourselves so damn seriously. If we could do this our lives would be 100% more tolerable. From the moment that we are born, we are dying too. The life of the majority of the people consists of daily warfare to survive. The majority of the people are born and died poorly. Whatever I, us an individual, try to do to help others it will not change anything. How to reconcile that, with our belief about our greatness, about our uniqueness? Maybe I am too stupid to understand the profound sense of our existence. But nevertheless because we are here on this planet as a part of the universe we should be happy, honest, and free and to do the best what we can do to become better humans. So far, I am working on becoming free, free in my mind; the freedom to be who I really am. This is the only freedom I really posses: my thoughts, my feelings, my choices, my vocation and my creations. I am very happy to be able to share my passion with other humans.
I try to express my personal philosophy in my paintings, collages, installations, video and photographs.

I studied art at private ateliers in Lodz in Poland and in Vienna in Austria. One of the artists who taught me traditional painting and drawing was the well known Polish artist Feliks Paszkowski.
But the most famous teacher I have had was and is Leonardo da Vinci. Obviously I had no personal tuition, but he is my hero!

Most of my paintings have been sold to private collectors and to order (approx. 123 works to 62 collectors).
