I have got my Master of Fine Arts degree in 2011 in the field of sculpture at the University of Arts in Poznan, Poland. My artistic way is based in major part on the philosophy/poems of Laozi. Most of my works are a reflection of these words:

"The ten thousand things rise and fall while the Self watches their return.

They grow and flourish and then return to the source.

Returning to the source is stillness, which is the way of nature.

The way of nature is unchanging.

(…)"

I am focused on the problems of Nature and our civilization.

I work mainly in wood as a reference to a living transforming material representing nature. I often use old furniture, tree bark, or just a shape of branch to conclude an element of Nature. I have realized many outdoor installations in Poland, Slovenia, Italy and Japan, couple of them have stayed as permanent installations.
